Thanks for the suggestion. I am afraid she would be able to figure out how to get around them. She is very sneaky and a little devil. I can just see her picking them right out.😁
Try putting a few moth balls on top of the soil in each plant pot. Jerry Baker (America's Master Gardener) has this "Scat Cat" solution, saying, "Too keep cats from digging in container plants, indoors or out, dribble this elixir lightly over the top of the soil's surface": 5 tbsp. flour, 4 tbsp. powdered mustard, 3 tbsp. Cayenne pepper, 2 tbsp. Chili powder, 2 quarts water. Mix all of these ingredients together and sprinkle the solution around the perimeter of the areas you want to protect. " (From "Backyard Problem Solver", by Jerry Baker, pg. 231.)
My cat too loves to eat my plants. She has cut down my shamork, my fern and has started on another. I planted cat grass...which she ignores, I've sprayed her with vinegar water...this worked! Now she grazes at night once I'm asleep! Stinker!
I know mothballs work outside but I'm not crazy about having my whole house smell like mothballs'.
have you given your cats a hairball remedy? have you sprayed the leaves 1/2 water and 1/2 hot pepper juice?
when my cats have gone for the greens, they usually hack a hairball.
