Hey everyone! ? I'm having a bit of a problem with my cat who just can't resist chewing on my spider plant and palm tree. I'm wondering if there are any deterrents I can apply to keep them away from the plants, or if moving the plants is my only choice? Any advice would be super helpful!

I tried a bitter spray meant to deter cats, but mine just treated it like a tasty dressing and kept going for the plants! ? You might need to come up with a backup plan.

CactusWhisperer1: Right? I have a cat that actually chewed on a cactus. If that didn't stop him, I'm not sure a spray will do the trick either!

I've heard that a mix of diluted citrus can be effective if you spray it on the leaves. It's supposed to make the plants less appealing to cats. Good luck!
