I had plastic plants in a vase on my window sill. Had plastic plants. The cats broke two vases so far. We cannot have nice things.
But mine are all (5) adults now and all of them do eat the cat grass, or I see the outside ones (2) eating the oats growing from seed spilled from the bird feeder.
Once she grows into adulthood, she probably won't go after the plants anymore. Mine never touch any of my real plants.
I work as a florist and am a Certified Master Gardener. The cut flowers that you buy have a high probability of being heavily sprayed or even dipped in insecticides or fungicides, especially if imported. So even those non toxic flowers could cause problems if the cats chew on them. I do have a few houseplants and my cats leave them alone. I will not have anything that they bother - if I bring it home and they show interest in it - it finds a new home. The only cut flowers I have are roses (no babies breath) and sunflowers because they leave them alone.Be really careful of floral bouquets ..[emoji]128552[/emoji]
They often contain lilies and other flowers that are toxic to cats. Especially since the bouquet is a new, thus fascinating thing in the house...
We only have cut roses in our home also. My fiance knows not to buy any other type of bouquet for me.
