My indoor cat keeps eating house plants. Any safe ways to stop this?

[]

Answer

Many common houseplants are toxic to cats, so it's excellent that you're addressing this. Cats often chew on plants out of boredom, for fiber, or simply due to curiosity. The most effective way to stop it is to remove all toxic plants from your cat's access. For non-toxic plants, try deterrents like citrus sprays (cats dislike the scent), placing pebbles over the soil (discourages digging), or using double-sided tape on pot rims. Providing cat-safe alternatives like cat grass or catnip can sometimes redirect their chewing habits. Interactive toys can also reduce boredom. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
