Accept it: cats eat plants. Cats are carnivores but need some greens. Outdoors, there's grass. Indoors, you're the green grocer. Give your cat its own plant and the cat will be less likely to bother your favorites. Cats prefer grass-types like spiders, bamboo, and chives. Mine like papyrus. Some like parsley. Go figure.

If the cat throws up plant leaves, it's probably treating itself for hairballs. More grooming and hairball medicine will protect the rug and improve the cat’s attitude.

Discourage your cat from digging in pots by covering the soil with rocks, shells, pine cones, etc.

Get a poisonous plant list. Note: these lists are not comprehensive, so assume all plants are poisonous unless confirmed safe. Very dangerous plants like oleander should be banned from the house. Others are OK if the cat, and the kids, leave the plant alone. Pick up the dead leaves before they become toys.

If your cat insists on bothering an off-limits plant, wash the plant to remove the cat’s scent markings, then change the plant's location.

Accept that some plant damage, particularly while your cat is learning, is inevitable.

Lastly: the sunniest windowsill belongs to the cat. Your cat will, gently but firmly, push all offending objects onto the floor until you master this simple fact.
