These methods can all keep your cat from trampling your potted plants. Which one do you prefer?

Cats at home always like to sleep in flower pots. They want to crawl into any container they see. If you grow some cacti, they will even pull the cacti down. If they are foliage plants, they will just sleep right on top of them. How can you stop them from trampling your plants?

Kittens are very curious about their surroundings. Clearly, indoor potted plants are very attractive to them. I often see kittens searching for potted plants at home. They think small flower pots are very interesting, especially potted plants that grow relatively lushly. Even if there is no room in the pot, they will still nudge out a spot for themselves.

So netizens came up with some ways to drive kittens away, at least to keep kittens away from potted plants

Method one: Cover with foil or plastic wrap

Covering potted plants with a layer of reflective foil can keep cats away. You can also put down some plastic wrap, but this looks very unattractive, and few people do it.

Method two: Grow catnip

Growing a pot of fragrant catnip at home can divert the kitten's attention. They are very obsessed with catnip, which can shift their attention and keep other potted plants from being disturbed.

Method three: Put in pine cones

Some pine cones picked up from the park were originally meant to be used to make plant landscapes. Now they were thrown into the flower pot, and unexpectedly the cat stopped coming near. This method is very effective for preventing kittens from sleeping in flower pots. It protects the plants at home well and does not look bad either.

Method four: Insert toothpicks

This method is rather extreme. It involves inserting quite a few toothpicks into the soil of the flower pot. Although it is effective, it can easily cause accidental injury and looks rather creepy. This method can be used to guard against mice and birds.

Method five: Enclose with plants

This method is more direct. Just cover the potted plant with a grid-shaped cover. But it seems the kitten has already run inside ahead of time. I do not know how it will get out. Seeing its impatient expression, I wonder how you would feel?

No matter which method you use, pay attention to safety. Do not let the kitten get hurt. If there are children at home, be even more careful. It is best to grow some hanging plants. If they are grown suspended in the air, you do not have to worry about cats.
