I ended up wanting to water the plants less or watering them in secrecy trying to be watchful of golden spying eyes.  Over the past couple of months I grew tired of cleaning off soil from our dining room floor so I was determined to remedy the situation.   A few weeks ago I realized that by placing river rocks atop the soil, it would take all the fun out of the kitties from digging the dirt.  We zipped to a local craft store and solution achieved.  There are a variety of river rocks out there.  I chose the larger (heavier) earthy toned variety since it was most suitable for the potted plant I had in mind.  Think like a cat and the answers will fall into place.  There&#8217;s no need to get even; just get smarter.  <\/p>\n<p>*Please remember to choose non-toxic\/pet-safe plants; especially in places where you allow your pets to spend time.<\/p>\n<p>*Photocredit: Michael&#8217;s Craft Store<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.stellaandcupcake.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/river-rocks.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stellaandcupcake.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/river-rocks-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"river rocks\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.stellaandcupcake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/river-rocks-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.stellaandcupcake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/river-rocks-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.stellaandcupcake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/river-rocks.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s something about the scent of newly watered plants which acts as a cat attractant.
