I had a 3ft tall money tree. Cat safe plant. My miserable feline ate the entire thing down to the barked stem. She did the same with a Christmas cactus.

Never again, I said. 5 years later I tried again with an olive tree. The miserable cat ignored it. The new cat delicately grabbed each leaf, plucked it from the branch, and dropped it on the floor. No eating. Just persistent plucking.

We’re back to never again.

Maybe some cat grass so they have something they can eat.

My mother planted some of that in our garden when I was young. Literally the next day the entire plant was gone and the cat was sprawled out on the grass baked out of his tiny mind

Cat grass (despite the name lol) is a different thing to catnip (which is the one that gets them spaced out). Cat grass is just a type of regular grass that you can grow indoors for your cat to eat.

Outdoor cats will eat grass to help their digestion, so it's important to have something safe for indoor cats to eat otherwise they will just eat anything green and that could be bad for them.

It's easy enough to grow from seed or you can get it already growing in a pot.

Hah, my own instance doesn't show that. It's a little surprise for me when someone mentions it
