Reply:I guess it isn't an extremely poisonous plant or something would have happened by now. I think you can get some bitter apple from a pet store that won't harm the plant and make it distasteful to the cats.



You can also buy special kitty grass from a pet store and the cats might like to munch on that.
Reply:Put it somewhere that they can't get to it, and buy one of those kitty plants that they are allowed to eat. It's natural for cats to need foliage in their diets and indoor cats don't have an opportunity to get outside and do that. Also try buying the kitty food that has grass in it, my cat loves it.
Reply:there is a spray that you can buy at walmart or pet smart call Bitter Apple. It is in the dog area, but works well for most cats too
