My dad has this little plant that he brings inside in winter. Since it's getting colder here now, he decided to bring the plant inside. But my two five month old cats started chewing on the leaves! My dad gave them a spray of water and they avoided the plant after that... when we were sitting there. The next morning, the plant had very clearly been chewed on, as there were leaves on the floor and all. I'm not sure what kind of plant it is; I'll have to look it up, but I'm almost positive it's safe for the cats to eat. Not that that helps with the problem, lol. It used to have a very tall stem with leaves at the top, but we had to cut it to move and now it's just regrading from the base, hence the cat-accessible leaves. The crazy thing is, the cats are allowed outside so they chew on those plants, but they still insist on tearing up this plant! Not sure why, but this plant means a lot to my dad so it's rather important I get them to stop. Any ideas? Right now I believe he moved it to a room they're not allowed in, but it's unfortunate because he likes having it on display.
