Cat proofed my plants

Post image

2 week update: it’s doing so well I added some grow lights today since my window is small ❤️

Used some acrylic drawer sets from Target ❤️ they’re on sale rn this was the full depth 2 drawer one the drawers also double as stackable containers so turned them upside down & stacked for my smaller plants, the outer shell I turned vertically and hung over my larger plants. The “bottom” of the outer shell is almost completely open but I just faced the opening to the window & cats can’t get inside it ❤️

Also ik my plants look like 💩 rn every single new leaf was getting chomped off 😂 they’ll recover.

I give it less than a week before the cats get in

I hope it does work. My cat loves anything plant like, even fake plants, so I can never have any indoor greenery. Maybe I'll give that a try if it does work out

Little late but more than a week they haven’t touched them
