We recently got a pretty expensive palm tree for the master bedroom, and my cats absolutely will not leave it alone. I've tried a bunch of things to make the tree unappealing (Sprayed the leaves with diluted lemon water, left peels in the pot, tin foil, sticky tape, physical barriers, rewarded the cats for eating more appropriate plants, increased play time during the day to keep them tired out, puzzle toys with treats in them to keep them preoccupied.) No smell or taste deterrents have ever really worked on them, but I hoped it might this time since they were actually chewing the leaves. We have tons of plants that they leave alone, but something about the taste or texture of this plant is irresistible to them. They've been to the vet to rule out nutrition/health issues, and they have cat grass pretty much everywhere in the apartment. Like, we bought a couple of cat grass plants for each room and we encourage them to use them with positive reinforcement. They still use these plants, but they seem to prefer the palm. I honestly don't know what else to try with this plant, and we'd prefer not to lock them out of the master bedroom when they can't be supervised. Have any of you had success with your cats using a different method? I wanted to try the motion detector that sprays air, but they're not available in my country for a reasonable price.
