caught mid chomp, little gremlin. almost every plant is toxic to cats yet he craves the death greens.

Have you tried planting a tray of grass for him to eat instead?

planning on getting him some cat grass! nothing as of yet but it's our next purchase.

I have 2 toddlers and 2 cats, redirection is much more successful than negative reinforcement for both.

definitely, i believe it. luckily i mostly teasingly swat at him as he tends to avoid the plants. he had to pester again today though.

I have some cat grass and both of them completely ignore it. It's the only indoor plant they don't eat.

oh great hah. i’ll look up specific plants cats enjoy munching on then. i was just gonna get some simple PretSmart grass.

My cat hated cat grass but would eat Christmas tree mini lights. Orange.

My tuxedo cat does not have the advantage of the shed brain cell. He has to get by on zero brain cell.

He has fallen in the pond at least three times because learning that liquid water does not support his immense weight, is physiologically impossible.
