How do I stop my cats from eating my plants? (mander.xyz)

Really, how can I stop them from eating my plants? Some don't have leaves anymore. They are not even edible. They are even biting the cacti for some reason.

I put the plants out of reach and that only made them figure out new ways to reach higher furniture.

Help.

Love this! What kind of toys do you suggest? I have lots of sticks with feathers and small mice or balls to chase, but at some point they get bored of everything.

I dunno, cats are so individual. One of mine loves this ball-in-circle toy so much, she'll play with it for hours on and off. My other one wants ME to play, no matter what toy it is.

Here's the ball-in-circle toy:

I think you have to just try different things and see what they like most. Maybe try a catnip stuffed toy?

I also find that they are just like humans and the things they like most are whatever is new. So I buy them like one new toy a couple times a year. It's almost Christmas; I'll get them a new toy as a gift haha
