well, dependes on the type of plant. i doubt you wills b able 2 replant it regardless of how u cut it. so dont. there are products you can buy at petco, petsmart or other pet stores that repel pets. There sprays, you put some on the plant and when the cat or dog goes to eat it it tastes bitter. it dosnt hurt the animal or the plant and the animal will stop, not likeing the new tast. After a swhile you wont have to spray the plant anymore, the animal will just know to stay away from it. I have 2 cats and a dog so i had the same problem. good luck.
Reply:When you cut them it does not kill them. It makes them happier! This is the general rule for plants that have stem like growth.





So cut them as short as possible... to where you think they still look good, and shortly you will see new growth!





Plants generally don't do as well in the fall/ early winter as they do in the spring, so if you cut them now, feed them and give them sunlight, they will be VERY happy come March and will probably flower for you!
Reply:It depends on what kind of plants you have.Most plants,you cut at a slant right below a "joint"and put in a glas of water so they can root.
