Guest guest Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 When I was living in nyc, I got a giant potted beutiful tropical potted plant for my birthday. It made my apartment look really nice. It started to slowly die, day after day, I didn't understand why, then finally I realized that one of my cats was using it as a litter box. I couldn't rescue it. , " Anna Blaine " <anna333@e...> wrote: > Hi Val, > > My cats are indoor cats and while one is perfectly happy with the situation, the other has to have regular access to kitty greens.

I'll start with the cayenne pepper. None of my 5 cats are aloud outdoors, maybe I should buy some of those kitty plants for them to gnaw on. Just the kitten is really making a game out of jumping right in the middle of the plants. I don't think she's chewing on them, just attacking the shit out of them!

This conversation has taken on a really bitchy tone. How about this one... I can't keep my youngest kitty out of my peace lily plants. I'm in a 2 bedroom townhouse and there's no where to " hide " the plants. Any suggestions for me? > > P.S.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 That's strange - you would think it would be a good fertiliser. I suppose the scratching around was disturbing the roots too much.
