It's important to be very cautious about your cat eating houseplants, as many common varieties are toxic and can cause anything from mild gastrointestinal upset to severe organ damage or even death. Before anything else, identify all your plants and research their toxicity to cats. Common culprits include lilies, sago palms, azaleas, and many others. To deter chewing, you can try bitter-tasting sprays (specifically made for pets and plants), provide alternative safe plants (like catnip or cat grass), or elevate plants out of reach. Ensure your cat has plenty of mental stimulation and appropriate chew toys. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
