Thick-leaf cold growing water loving orchids

[Grim Tuesday]

I have a very peculiar set of desires to find orchids that will thrive in my house. It's dry and relatively cold in the winter, so semi-hydro really only works well with plants that will tolerate cold-and-wet conditions. For those that like it, they do better than plants I have in bark.

So far I've found miltoniopsis and oncidium, or oncidium intragenerics consistently love it. However, those plants all have thin floppy leaves. My cat goes crazy for leaves like that. She has chewed on the end of every single floppy leafed plant I have and it's gotten to the point where I have limited space that she can't reach. I've tried spraying them down with bitter spray but it does not dissuade her. The problem is in 5 seconds she can do more damage to a plant than it can grow in a month. Even if she is on best behavior and only takes one bite a week the whole collection has ragged leaves after a few months.

But she leaves "thick leaf" plants alone. Phalaenopsis, cattleya, most dendrobium are free to thrive in my house. However, they tend to dry out in bark or be too cold in semihydro. So what am I to do? Do you guys have any recommendations of species, hybrids or genera that I could try that fit the following requirements:

- Thick leaves
- Loves water
- Doesn't mind being cold (I have a heating mat but space on it is limited, and I'd like to avoid getting plants that need to be babied)
