Keeping Cats Away

[spinrah]

I like WaterWitchin's idea of hanging the orchid. Or putting up a high shelf with a simple grow light (there are many on the market that are small and portable - they can just be attached to your shelf with a clip).

And, if all else fails, then I agree with Dollythehun -- forget the orchid... my cat comes first.

But, hopefully you'll find that even if your cat is a little curious about the new orchid at first, once they get a good sniff of it and rub their scent on it, they won't bother it again. My cat does smell and say 'hi' to the orchids once in a while by rubbing her face on the leaves, but other than that she's not concerned about them ... one of the reasons I got into orchids is because she lets me have them!
