How do I keep my cat out of my house plants?
There is a spray you can buy at any pet store or even your local walmart store, it is called Stay Off. It works good. I have both cats and dogs and none of them like the smell or taste of this stuff. It is very inexpensive. you can also try using a squirt bottle of water and see if that works, but also try Stay Off, use it Daily and or whenever you are out of the house. Or you could try putting your plants up high enough so your cat cannot get into them.
Reply:There is no hope, you don't get house plants.
Reply:Keep them as far out of her reach as possible, and try sprinkling some ground cinnamon (a natural cat deterrant) around the base of the plants. Be sure to look up the types of foliage you have as some are toxic to pets.
Reply:I had this problem. Tap the cat on the nose every time you catch him/her in them.





Cat's hate being tapped on the nose. Don't do it roughly, but have a little force behind it.
Reply:What I did, I use a clear plastic bowl. I cut a hole in it and let plant grow through the hole. It was like dome. My plant was more like a tree, and the cats were playing in the soil, but if your cat is chewing on the plant this might not work. Good luck. Poncco
Reply:If you cover the soil with small pebbles or stones, your cat won't be able to dig into it.
Reply:Are they digging up the soil?


or


Are they eating on the plants?





If they are digging in the soil I found that putting rocks as a mulch on the top of the soil stops them from digging.





If they are playing with or eating the plants then you need to put the plants up where the cats can't get to them. I fill up the whole windowsill with plants that way they can't jump up there.
Reply:If they are digging up the soil, I heard that putting aluminum foil around the plant on the dirt helps.
Reply:Use a spray bottle filled up with cold water since cats dislike water except to drink it.
Reply:this sounds funny but when they are near furniture or bothering anything, you squirt them with a squirt bottle everytime they bother something. they will eventually leave it alone RATE ME
