I recently got a potted rose. Unfortunately, my cat likes to nibble on it. I cannot always catch him in the act and haven't found a spot to plant it. He is an indoor cat. We have neighboring cats and outdoor cats come by and use the bare spot as a catbox. I have yet to use any chemicals on that so I am not afraid of him getting sick. I've tried keeping it out of his reach but it's nearly impossible - we live in a triplex so space is limited. Is there anything I can do? |

One thing that seems to work for me is catnip. Take a sock and fill the end about an inch up and seal off. Attach sock to doorknob or kitty scratching post and let the cat know its there (get a little wet and put it under it nose and scrunch a little). After they get the taste for catnip they pretty much leave the plants alone. You can also put a little in with their food (helps digestion). Now as for them using the planter box as a litter box, find a bunch of little sticks and poke them into the soil (about a dozen or so) so they cannot be moved. This usually stops my outdoor problem in my beds so the cats won't to potty there.
