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

      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.

      In the meantime try a handful of regular ol’ lawn grass, if you know it’s not full of pesticides. My cat loves the random grass I weed out of my outdoor plant pots even more than the official Cat Grass I grow indoors. By the way, don’t bother with fresh catnip, it’s not for eating and most cats would rather sniff the dried kind.
