Tips on keeping plants alive with cats?

article image placeholderUploaded by @gabrudolph
They're super adorable, but I also really like having plans in my house and I haven't really been able to keep any of my plants alive because my two cats just end up messing with it and it just ends up dying. We had this like palm in our living room and I came home the other day and the whole thing was just toppled over and there's a soil everywhere

Hanging plants!

To be honest, I don't have any tips for how to keep your cats away from plants, but I just wanted to come on here and say I had the exact same thing. I had a Marmalade cat when I was younger and we have this Ficus that my mom would water and then place on our bathroom floor and I swear to God, our cat thought that thing was cat up

I've only been putting books up there, but I was thinking of maybe putting some plants up there. My cats are still kittens, so they can't jump that high. I don't think they're going to be able to jump all the way to the shelf, but I might just give that a try and see if I can get some plans up there. And hopefully they'll stay alive

Honestly, I have a cat myself. And let me tell you the truth about Mia. Mia is my cat. My mother has a lot of plans. And when it's winter time, my mom brings all the plants inside of the house. And Mia has the tendency to always safe eat the plants. And I came across thinking that there's something on the plants that she always likes to just go and do it. I personally feel attacked because I usually have beautiful plants growing

So, yeah, I don't really have any great tips. I am starting to be a new plant mom, and I want to add more plants to my room and stuff, but I guess he's plants are probably your best bet. Hopefully the cat just doesn't jump on the hanging plant and, like, rip it from the ceiling. But, yeah, you should try it out
