    I had a 3ft tall money tree. Cat safe plant. My miserable feline ate the entire thing down to the barked stem. She did the same with a Christmas cactus.

    Never again, I said. 5 years later I tried again with an olive tree. The miserable cat ignored it. The new cat delicately grabbed each leaf, plucked it from the branch, and dropped it on the floor. No eating. Just persistent plucking.

    We’re back to never again.

      My cat is very good at keeping the money tree clean, he only plucks the brown leaves and plays with them. He ignores every other plant, including a cat grass that we had for a while

      I have a cat that ignored my spider plants for a year, then recently decided the stems with babies sprouting make the perfect toys to hunt. He eventually removed them all, leaving little sprout corpses around the living room.
