Your cat may love nibbling on the needle-like leaves of a snake plant, but it’s highly indigestible. It contains saponins which are chemicals that alter the digestive workings. To keep your cat safe from developing stomach cramps and diarrhea, you must keep them away from the plant. The easiest way to maintain the distance between the two is by placing the plant in the cat-free zone of your house. Or you can put your cat’s sharp sense of smell to test by adding coffee grinds or an orange peel to the plant’s soil. If the citrus smell isn’t strong enough, you can use a deterrent spray. When it’s directly sprayed onto the plant, your cat will make sure to maintain a little distance. If nothing else works, it’s advised to remove the plant altogether.
