What can I do to discourage the cat from going after the plants?

I have three shelves of plants. I have chicken wire encasing the bottom
shelf.

My cat story... I picked up a Platystele oxyglossa at the Philadelphia
Flower Show this spring. That night, I brought it upstairs to log in
into Cattleya-Log. It was on my desk for about 13 seconds before my cat
jumped up, and started chomping on an inforescence.
