Cats are famous for trying to eat plants and then throwing them back up (ALWAYS on the carpet, never the tile floor, thankyouverymuch). I have to avoid certain types of plants (lilies are incredibly toxic to cats) for this reason.
My cats are generally pretty good - the tortoiseshell sometimes likes to bat around the baby plants on those long stems that come off my spider plant, but they generally leave the others alone.
One notable exception: when we first got Ms. Tortie, she was a stray that had been seeking shelter in a barn, so we didn’t know her history. She was terribly thin, so we got her treated for tapeworms, and she started to put weight on. We then discovered that she wasn’t spayed, as she started serenading us morning, noon, and night with all sorts of songs about wanting a boyfriend. One of her interesting tricks was she’d stand on the edge of the pot of my grapefruit tree, do a handstand against the tree’s trunk, and pee all over the tree!
Living with a cat in heat was far more annoying than I had anticipated. Thankfully it all went away when we got her spayed.
