So...yes, try to train it to leave your plants alone by whatever method you deem most humane and workable. The squirt bottle does work and a good, loud NO at the same time helps, too. Eventually the kitty will mature and with good discipline and training your plants will survive kittenhood.

I agree with Beverlys advice. Personally, I have always found that 'NO!' (it's all in the Tone of the voice) works wonders!
I have never had to spray my cats when they were kittens to teach them. and they never touch any of my plants. Although they also have access to a lot of grass which they eat everyday (my cats are long haired and they also get 'malt' 2/3 times a week)
