How can I stop my cats from nibbling on my house plants?

i love thee responces.....


Seiously, there is some stuff at Petco. it is like a bitter tasteing stuff and it is perfectly healthy to animals, its made to spray on things like that, so it wont ruin your plants eaither!

How can I stop my cats from nibbling on my house plants?
Get them some plants that they can nibble on. Many plants are poisonous, so let me check, I'll be back.





I tried looking at the online Merck's Veterinary Manual, but if it discusses the subject index is not useful to find it.





You could try growing catnip, but that makes them go loco, and from experience the smell draws big mean Tom Cats around, looking for love.





Those Tom's cannot be reasoned with, and are under the impression that there is a harem of females around to fight for.





So, tell your cats about the dangers of catnip, before its too late.
Reply:First you need to do some research on the houseplants that you have and make sure that they are not toxic to your cat. Some plants can make your cat very sick or even kill him. It would help to give him his own plants to nibble on. You can buy cat grass seeds at any pet store and plant them according to directions. You could probably buy some Rye grass seeds even at Wal-Mart or some place like that. After the grass is about 2 inches or so put the planters down on the floor and , if possible, raise your plants that you don't want your cat to eat up higher.

Reply:by raising your voice and saying no. You said cat so it will understand, it is harder with a kitten cause they are so full of mischief. My cat understands when I raise my voice, that is some place you do not go or something you do not do. When I whistle and call my cat it comes to me and sits in my lap. Just let your cat know what is right and what is wrong and believe me, it will understand. Even with a Christmas tree mine walks over and looks up at it and reaches up to touch a branch and I say No very loudly and she never goes back and does it again.

Reply:Put your plants in the place where the cats cannot reach it, and grow some (not toxic) plants especially for them to eat, it is good for their health; add carrot, apple, etc. in their food.
Reply:Take Chili powder (the spice you cook with) and lightly dust or sprinkle your plants. This works great. Cats will not touch them again if the chili powder stays on. Make sure when watering you don’t rinse the chili all off.
