My kitten Lucy

She may look all cute and sweet, but she is a little terror! She is constantly digging up my cacti and other plants in my house. Does anyone know a way to stop the kitten from doin this? Anyone know if cat grass works?

i have the top of my tree's planter covered w/ large screening.. allows for easy watering, but our 3 cats stay out of it now.. unless it's just to sleep on top of the screen. I staple-gunned it all around, but it is a big planter.. for smaller pots, i'm sure duct tape or something would work to hold it on..
you could probably also cover the top of the dirt in each pot w/ those decorative garden stones so she can't get to the dirt itself very easily..

I dont think stones will work unless they are big.. We had a bunch of stones in a glass thing, and she constantly took them out. I eventually had to get rid of them... But I can try out bigger stones and see what happens.

A spritz with a water bottle when they are doing something naughty should work.
We use the water bottle with our kitten, Linea, when she tries to steal food off of the table. Unfortunately, she has gradually built up a tolerance to the water bottle, and now just glares at us when we spritz her, and gives us a look like "Is that the best you've got?" She's a bitch.

Lucy HATES the spray bottle! but I never catch her in the act. She does it when we are sleeping or when no one is home

All kittens are terrorist. Like someone else said. The key is to keep a spray bottle and spray them when they do something bad. I have 2 little ones, both about 5 months old now.
You have a very cute kitten though

Ohh. Maybe put the plants where she can't get to them? She could probably hurt herself on the cactus, which would make for an expensive vet visit
You could maybe spray the plants with stuff that cats don't like, like bitter apple or something. Or, move the plants into your bedroom at night and shut her out of it?
