My cat pulls greenery out of my arrangements. Sometimes she plays with them or chews on them and then will be sick. Why? How do I stop her?

Hello Penny, 

Thank you for your question.

Cats are naturally attracted to greenery due to its texture, smell, and taste. Large-leaved indoor houseplants and flowers are particularly interesting to cats as they make great chewing or play objects when bored. 

Some cats, like my DSH Simba, enjoy chewing on plants. I suspect this may be due to a missing nutrient or dietary fibre in his diet; he has been diagnosed with IBD.

In my case, I had to remove all plants out of his reach and replace them with only cat grass. I only let him have wheatgrass in moderation since he eats large portions and then vomits. 

If you're having trouble keeping your cat away from greenery, I recommend reading this helpful article by Dr. Barker on 10 Proven Ways To Keep Cats Out Of Plants.

 

I hope this information is helpful to you. 

Best regards,

Melina
