She's cute, isn't she? So sweet and innocent, curled up in a little ball...awwww...But don't let her fool you!!! She's actually truly vicious; with tearing claws, gnashing teeth, a ferocious devouring stomach--you should be very scared!!!
...if you're a plant.
Yes, folks. Kitty is a plant killer. And I've learned the hard way. I've been brought close to tears when I've gone to check on the little tiny plant-ling that I've been caring for, nursing along--only to find it gone--absolutely and entirely eaten. And Kitty nearby purring with pleasure. Plant-lings are her favorite. And the jade plants; must be a texture thing.
Anyway, first reacting with sadness and pity ("why me--why do I happen to adopt a plant-eater-cat?!?!?!"), I changed my approach and turned it into a project. To try and find the answer to the question: how to keep Kitty from eating my plants. Extra challenge: unlike dogs (the animal I'm more accustomed to), kitties can jump--high--making the usual solutions like "put it on the shelf" still unusable.
Here's what I came up with: A terrarium, and hanging plants in jars!
Any other solutions out there? Please and thank you!!
