Tricks on keeping cats from houseplants
Comments (10)I think you have the best option already with a closed room. I haven't found anything other than moving to a different location. I have various strategically placed objects to keep them from jumping up to different sills, shelves, book cases etc. over time I got used to which ones I could leave in accessible positions. but even with that, they left golden pothos alone for years and all of the sudden have a taste for it. they have played with citrus peels and been undeterred by various pepper concoctions, sprays or whatever. for digging, covering the open area with tin foil worked the best for me. but it looks terrible. at this point ive switched to mostly gritty mix and a little elevation, like sitting on top of an overturned large pot. no issues so far. when was does arise it will probably be a big mess though....See MoreCat-safe hanging houseplants for low-ish light?
Comments (5)Thanks rivenshire, I'll look into those. I also found peperomias recommended on a few websites - it looks as though they come in several varieties, so that gives me some options. I wish I had enough sun for a lipstick plant or a goldfish plant to flourish!...See MoreThinking of getting a cat. Are strays in Colombia friendly?
Comments (1)Ask yourself a few questions. If you ever move, are you willing to take the cat with you or will you find it a new home? Are you able to pay vet costs to have the cat spayed/neutered? Do you intend to keep it as a house cat or allow it to be indoor/outdoor. I think it's a great idea to help and adopt a stray but IMO you should be ready to commit to care for the cat the rest of its life. You can always start by feeding whatever stray is near your home, then see if you bond with them....See MoreCat friendly flooring help
