Meryl, You may want to ask the same question under the Cats section of the Pets forum, since retraining your cat may be more effective than hiding the plants from him. 🙂 Marcia

The Cat section is excellent, full of wonderful people (and cats) who have given me advice neither Alfred the Bad nor I would have survived without. You wouldn't believe how many problems this cat has brought up to solve, especially considering that I've had at least 20 reasonable cats before I met him. I'm asking here because I thought that some plant lover has probably fought this battle and won!

Ah! I'm working on surviving my first cat (which I might not be doing without the Pet forum). One thing I remember is that people suggested Bitter Apple spray when we had a problem with our kitten chewing everything in sight. You also asked about low-growing hardy herbs… creeping rosemary might be feasible. Ours is pretty uncrushable, though it took a little while to get started. Marcia

Do you have any idea where to find Bitter Apple spray? Pet store? Garden shop? I've never seen it. It really worked with your kitten? Need I say this guy will chew other things besides just the plants. Yes, the Pet forum is great, isn't it?
