My cat keeps eating my houseplants. How can I make her stop?

Question

How do you stop a cat from chewing on house plants. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 5 lbs

Unfortunately, this is a common issue in cats. First, make sure that all house plants are not toxic to cats. Then, you can try spraying the plants with something like Bitter Apple spray to discourage your cat from chewing on them. If that doesn't work, you may have to move the plants to an area where Lil Bit can't get to them. You can also try placing pet grass or a small planting of wheat grass or cat nip in an area where Lil Bit can get to it to satisfy her desire to chew on plant material.
