    ||||||IIII|||IL|LLI - 14 hr. ago · edited 13 hr. ago I find it to be extremely helpful when I sit down and talk to my cat about why the things that she does is unproductive and destructive. It's helpful because it tempers my expectations for when I sit in work meetings and make meaningful and logical suggestions only to have nobody listen to me. 926 Reply Share

    This is Bob, Bob likes the shelf above my sink, sleeping on top of my shower and on top of my bookcase corrections his bookcase. The only way I've considered keeping him grounded by either tape his legs together or zip tie him to a bowling ball . Actually I've started using thing that don't break and reassemble easily. Because Bob will be Bob. Reply Share 2.2k

    InternalPurple 7694 · 15 hr. ago I tried those, on my netted balcony, that still only had supervised cat play time (I had one escape artist, that managed to wreck the entire construction, just to walk over to the next balcony and then come running back, because she hated other people). However, these things are perfectly cat loaf shaped, so they just dug up all plants and used them as cats beds. It's a struggle. 1.2k Reply Share

    kittlesnboots 15 hr. ago The problem is you thought that was a plant shelf when it's actually a cat shelf. Give the cat that spot. You could try a hanging spider plant there if it gets some good sun. Kitty will like it, and you get your plant. 1.0k Reply Share

    QueenBeeKitty85 - 15 hr. ago Can you hang them? Maybe use a curtain rod and then you could have more plant Reply Share 154 Bibliovoria 14 hr. ago Agreed on hanging them! I wouldn't trust multiple hanging plants to a curtain rod, though; I'd go with something sturdier, whether that's hanging hooks into the beams or a sturdy closet-type rod. 44 Reply Share

    pthang06 - 16 hr. ago Mount/build some wall furnitures so he tends to go on those ones rather than on that ledge. If that ledge is his only place he can go up he will most likely always go there You could also hang around your plant somewhere so he cant really reach it 20 Reply Share ...

    badtux99 14 hr. ago Museum putty (earthquake putty) is the only way I keep cats from knocking over plants. Anything you don't want knocked over needs to be tacked down to a hard surface with this stuff. Keeping a cat from going where they want to go is a lost cause. Because cat. 12 Reply Share
