Why is my Cat digging up house plants?

I just transplanted several new plant starts. My 9 month cat keeps digging them up. She's not doing her business in the pots, just digging the plants up. How can I stop her?

Why is my Cat digging up house plants?
Try putting tin foil over your pots.
Reply:they dig anywhere they can. i agree, you have to move the plants somewhere where the cat cant reach them, like hang them from the ceiling.
Reply:because it feels like it
Reply:Its a natural behavior.





My mother-in-law solved it by putting rocks/pebbles over the top of the dirt. Its worked for her.
Reply:Ours did that, you can buy little pieces of netting that you can drape around the base of the plant, which stopped ours for a while. Also, there are sprays you can buy that are scented with smells that cats don't like. That stops them!
Reply:Cat love plants it will always want to move it or dig it underground
Reply:that's right. cats might also nibble on plants if they're indoor cats. if you have cats, move your plants away or up so they can't reach them. also, some plants are poisonous to pets.
