How do I stop my kitty from chewing on my beautiful house plants?
there is some spray that you could put on things that keeps pets away u can find it at any pet store
Reply:Spray the plant with a water and cayenne pepper solution. Kitty will not enjoy this. BAM!!
Reply:try giving its some catnip and it will forget about the other plants and have fun at the same time
Reply:pour around the house plants with some fertilizer that will scare away your kitten with smell.
Reply:Spray the plants with something your cat doesn't like. Such as garlic or cayenne pepper. Then try the squirt gun tactic. If that doesn't work try barb wire.
Reply:I second makibear's suggestion ... water and cayenne pepper on the leaves.





Now if we could just keep our cats from fishing used Q-Tips out of the trash ...
Reply:throw him outside or maybe put a fence type thing in front of the plants so he wont get to them. cut off the supply of this "kitty grass" too. then maybe he/she will kick the habit all together of eating plants.
Reply:smack the cat
Reply:squirt gun- nail him everytime he does it.
Reply:bitter apple on the areas he chews.


ps. hey my cats like used Q-tips too. mine like to put them down the sink drain. i once unclogged the drain from 22 Q-tips!
Reply:you might be able to try to train your kitty with treats but i havent found a way to stop my kitty(Kasey) from eating my house plants either
Reply:hold the cat by the tail and wrap its head around the tree
Reply:You can buy cat repellent at most pet stores.


It comes in a spray bottle. It is odorless and colorless and will not hurt your plants or furniture.


I use it and it works wonders at keeping them from chewing and clawing.
Reply:There is a product you can buy at the pet store that puts a bitter flavor on your plants without harming them Kitty won't like the flavor
Reply:plant him some of his very own catnip.....a big bowl of it....set it in a different corner.
Reply:Northwest poet has the appropriate answer. It may sound cruel but is a very effective teaching tool. I had to geive up house plants with my Ben, he kept eating them!
Reply:Even though the vegetation isn't good for cats, they seem to enjoy munching on greenery. I used to put a mixture of vaseline and tabasco sauce on the rims of my potted plants, and it worked well.
Reply:maybe u should try putting them somewhere Else because some plant are dangerous to kittens. if he eats enough of the plant it could cause harm. trust me, i have 3 cats of my own and 1 of them is still a kitten.
Reply:Keep them out of reach of the cat, or outside. Many house plants are toxic to cats.
Reply:put those wire like things around ur plants just like the ones used for outdoors to ward off deer and maybe buy another toy for ur cat to keep it busy
Reply:tea tree oil ( I think that's how you spell it). put it on your plants, and pets will stay away.
Reply:Try givin' him somethin' tat will keep him occupied, like yarn,GOOD LUCK!
Reply:spray with soapy water
Reply:Well you could have a few options here...





1. Cut off your cats tail and feed it to your kids.





2. Put poison all over your plants.





3. Get rid of your plants and/or cat.
Reply:squirt bottle worked for us. It just didn't work when it tried to use our face for scratching posts
