They can KILL the cats, if they eat any, or get that stuff on their paws and lick it off. GET RID of the MOTH BALLS ASAP....... You can put some orange, lemon, or other citrus rinds in your pots, and the cats should leave them alone. The rind won't hurt the cat, but most cats don't like the smell of them. My cats don't like the smell of Mentholatum, so if I have a place that I don't want them to mess with, I open a jar and set it at that place. One whiff, and they're G O N E.........They don't even stay long enough to taste !!! The smell alone is enough to SHOO them away. Hope you figure out something to save your plants. I got rid of all of my inside plants, just so I wouldn't have to worry about them anymore. All of my plants are living outside, now....The cats have the inside............. Good luck .........<br><b>References : </b><br>50+yrs cats ( 11 indoor, spayed & neutered ) / "issues" NEVER use MOTH BALLS around cats.

I tend to kill indoor plants so I don't have any now, but in the past I've put foil around the plant. I've also heard of putting ConTact paper (the sticky shelf paper) around the plant with the sticky side up.<br><b>References : </b><br> In my outdoor potted plants I put a bunch of small sticks in the dirt around the plant, and that’s worked pretty well.
