Doubt that the cat would be interested in bush-escargot... a really big one is maybe 1/4 inch (4 mm) , most are much smaller. And they mostly hide, only come out when the pot is REALLY wet. And don't care for snail bait either.

They do not seem to be able to survive freezing temperatures so I do not have a problem with them unless I get orchids that have bush snails or bush snail eggs.
The problem with them here, though, is that we have to bring the plants inside and that is when the trouble begins. The bush snails continue to multiply but they have no where to go and,due to limited dining options, they wreck great destruction, even eating roots of plants.

Worse, if they get into a terrarium of miniature orchids, especially from the Pleurothallidinae subtribe...the reason I no longer post about those....
