How To Stop Cats From Eating Plants

If you have indoor cats, you may have noticed that they like to eat plants. This can be quite a nuisance if you want to keep your house looking pretty, but there are ways to keep cats from eating plants without going through too much of a hassle.

Stop feeding them.

To stop your cats from eating plants, the most important step is to eliminate the food source. If you want to keep your houseplants, don’t let your cat eat them! To do this, you will need to remove any plants from your yard that are easy for cats to reach. Also make sure that you’re making sure they have plenty of other things they can eat instead: try feeding them dry food (this may have less nutritional value than some types of plants but it won’t kill them if it’s all they have). You could also try feeding a canned cat food diet which will provide more protein and fat than dry diets do but still be lower in carbs than many kinds of plant matter would be

Remove your plants.

If you don’t want to get rid of your cat, try removing the plants.

This is a great way to stop cats from eating plants because it’s pretty easy and involves no effort on the part of the cat (except maybe some initial resistance).

Put up a barrier.

Use a fence or screen.
Use a wire mesh or chicken wire.
Use plastic mesh, metal mesh and wooden fences are also good options as they will not harm your cat’s claws while they eat the plants inside.
Stone walls can also be used but must be cleaned regularly so that it does not become dirty and scratched up with debris from cats who have been scratching at them all day long!

Bath them in water.

You can also try using a spray bottle to get them to stop eating your plants. This works best if you use water that is cold and make sure that the cats aren’t standing in it. You want them to be sprayed, but not soaking wet or cold.

Cover your plants with dust.

Cornstarch and baking soda are both common ingredients in cat litter. If you can find a way to get them on your plants, cats won’t want to touch them. Sprinkle the mixture on top of the soil around plants or spray it directly onto their leaves.

Use mothballs.

Mothballs are an effective way to keep cats away from plants. This is because the mothballs are toxic, and can cause harm if ingested. If you’re worried about your cat eating them, try placing the mothballs in a container that will allow them to be easily removed once they’ve been used for their intended purpose—keeping cats away from plants.

If you don’t want your pet to come into contact with these dangerous chemicals at all, it may be best to seek out other methods of keeping them out of an area (such as keeping them indoors).

Use soapy water.

In addition to the natural deterrents mentioned above, you can use soapy water as a repellent for cats. This is a good alternative to mothballs, which are known for their odor and have been linked with liver disease in cats. The soap you use should be unscented and dissolved in water before being sprayed on plants or garden beds. Spray each plant thoroughly until it’s dripping wet but not dripping down into the soil — this will help prevent damage to roots and leaves when they dry out again later.
