Owners of pets have probably often noticed that cats are partial to indoor plants.

This hobby is dangerous not only because of the death of the flowers themselves, but also because of health problems for the animals.

This is because many houseplants that seem harmless to us contain substances that are deadly to cats.

Let's figure out which methods will allow you to nip unwanted cat behavior in the bud.

How to stop a cat from eating flowers

The first and one of the most effective ways is to plant catnip on the windowsill. Animals love its smell, and it should distract the cat from other plants for a long time (if not forever).

If this does not help, do not give up trying to scare the cat away with the help of smells.

Surely you have noticed that furry pets cannot stand the smell of citrus fruits. In this case, this dislike will come to your aid.

Scatter orange or lemon peels near flower pots or leave them on the flower bed. You can also use lavender, eucalyptus or mint oil: mix the concentrate with water and spray the flowers from time to time.
