They eat every plant from roses, to greenery, doesnt matter. Ive tried the Bitter Spray and it doesnt work.

Clove oil deters them and smells nice too. Keep in mind that you may need to get rid of the plants if she keeps eating them, because many of them are toxic to cats. Check the aspca.com list.
Reply:there is a spray that is plant friendly, and pet friendly, but the smell turns cats off from plants.
Reply:your only option may be to give up on house plants (as I did for 17 1/2 yrs) as no home rememedy worked, and placing the plants up high only motivated the offender to jump to reach them- and he succeeded!
Reply:I can't have plants either. Acutally I don't have a green thumb, lol. My thumb is actually black, hehe. My ex mother law puts orange peels in her plant pots. Cats hate citrusy stuff, plus this isn't a chemical that will harm your pets. Good luck.
Reply:if you catch them... spray them with a water bottle sprayer... or you can spray water/pepper on the plants leaves...
Reply:Oh this can be very dangerous. You can fill either a small spray bottle or small squirt gun with water. When kitty isn't looking and is about to munch on the plant, squirt kitty with the water. Don't talk to the cat when your doing this, as they'll associate your voice with the water. I hope this will help. I had a cat that chewed on my spider plant and he ended up passing away from liver damage due to the plant. Good luck to you and kitty.
Reply:You might want to try using the grass they sell at pet stores. My wife says cats need greens for proper digestion. I you give them grass, they might leave the plants alone.
Reply:My dad uses cayenne pepper to keep the cat off the plants. Mix it with water and mist liberally.
Reply:Mine do the same thing. You may not be able to stop them, but one other thing you can try is putting aluminum around the soil and beneath the pots. Cats aren't supposed to like the feel of aluminum foil. Mine, however, don't seem to care.





Yes, also the squirt bottle may work too (as mentioned above), as well as the cayenne pepper. I forgot about those.
Reply:try spraying the plants with bitter apple
