  • Use a pebble mulch
  • Consider sacrificial plants
  • Move plants to a safer location
  • Hanging plants to keep cats away

  • Ensure your cat has toys to occupy itself

Keep plants cats will not chew on

There are many plants that cats do not like to eat, these include heavily scented plants like rosemary, and spiky plants like cactus, these plants are ideal to keep around cats.

Use a pebble mulch

Cats play with plant pots and soil when looking for new litter trays. The soil is natural to them and is perfect for covering up any mess the cat makes. Adding large pebbles as a mulch to the tops of your pots will help to distract the cats from the soil below

Consider sacrificial plants

Why not consider using sacrificial plants? These are plants that cats really like to eat. You could place these in a more accessible place for the cats to chew on. Consider plants like catnip and lemon balm for these.

Move plants to a safer location

Although cats climb around the house, you could place your plants in safer locations around the house. high shelving may be out of the cats jumping distance or even in high windowsills that are blocked for cat access.

Hanging plants to keep cats away

Even better than just moving your plants, consider hanging them from the ceiling or having a dedicated stand to hang them from. this will keep the cats away from your plants completely.

Spray plants with a cat deterrent

There are many cat deterrents on the market, these work by making the plants smell unfavourable to the cats and therefore they are left alone. Products such as the following can be used all with great effects.

Ensure your cat has toys to occupy itself

With such an array of cat toys on the market, there really shouldn’t be a need for your cat to want to chew your plants. Its the owner’s responsibility to provide adequate attention style toys for your cats to play with. Consider hanging toys and toys that smell like things cats love

Conclusion

In summary, toxicity may vary depending on the amount of plant ingested or the type of plants, as discussed above. It is advisable if you want to buy plants for the home, you should first research whether they are toxic to cats to avoid wasting your money on poisonous plants.

As discussed, many plants are toxic to cats, of which we should also engage with vets just in case we see some of the symptoms like swelling, redness, itchiness of eyes, mouth, or the skin. Other symptoms may include vomiting, diarrhoea excessive urinating and difficulty in breathing.

If treatment is delayed ingestion may be deadly, while some plants may require a special diet to the cats. To avoid all these, we should remove such toxic plants away from home and keep the cat indoors with special supervision.

However, I do not want to put you off growing these plants at home. Maybe get rid of your cat instead. ONLY JOKING! but in all seriousness, consider the plants you are growing and the location they are within the home.
