Kucing saya mengunyah sebagian tanaman saya dan juga tanaman tetangga saya. Bagaimana saya bisa menghentikan kebiasaan buruknya sebelum tetangga saya marah?

Toko-toko hewan peliharaan menjual "Rumput Pet" yang memberi mereka sesuatu untuk dikunyah ( atau tumbuh sendiri ). Anda bisa meletakkannya di dekat makanan mereka dan berharap itu memuaskan keinginan mereka. Anda akan mendapatkan jarak tempuh lebih banyak dari rumput peliharaan Anda jika Anda membiarkannya disiram.

Juga terkait dengan ini. Sejumlah besar tanaman rumah (dan di luar ruangan) beracun / beracun bagi kucing dalam berbagai tingkatan. Jika Anda memiliki hewan peliharaan, silakan periksa referensi tanaman beracun ini sebelum memasukkannya ke halaman atau rumah Anda.

There are products out there that can be sprayed on objects (plant, furniture, etc) that will add a bitter taste when licked/chewed on. This might be enough of a deterrent to stop your cat from chewing on the plants.

In the past when I have used it outside I applied it every couple days to the problem spot and within a week my dog had stopped chewing on the trees outside.

Problem is: Cats can't taste bitter. So this in most cases won't work.

I have lots of plants and keep them all behind closed doors so none of my cats can eat them. I do this for the benefit of the cats much more so than the plants.

Every plant we have had in the house has been destroyed by our cats except for some basil which they are completely ignoring for some reason. I was thinking about trying to hang some plants from the ceiling to cat proof them.

I think they ignore basil because it seems "nasty" to them. Just like how cats seem to find citrus oils unpleasant.
