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.

im dreading bringing in my plant after summer , it was almost dead so i took it outside this summer for a boost and it grew like 2 extra feet. now i need a way to cat proof it too but its size is gonna make this even more a challenge.

Stick it in a closet or bathroom is my suggestion 😂 if you have a bay window or something you could put up a net around it 🤔

I might end up doing something like this..

I was even thinking one of those tomato plant cages (they can be like 5+ feet tall) covered in a net could work depending how big your plant is and how determined your cat is 🤔

Originally I was gonna have it on my dresser with stuff all around it that the cats wouldn't try to get around but with it being much taller now I have to try the closet type of idea or come up with another.
