Trust me I've done the water pistol. She's a b!+@# still, still getting into trouble. Whats funny is when she she's me, she dont do it, but when i'm not visible they go crazy! I'll try the ground pepper stuff. HAAA I also heard about putting shavings of oranges or lemon on top of the soil. I tried it but I wasnt sure if that worked 100%

You can try placing some small paper souffle cups filled with fresh ground pepper. Or as some trainers do, they use a water pistol. Everytime the cat goes near the plant blast the cat with water.... :0) Carl L. Rosner

However, I've noticing the leaves on it disappearing. Wondered what was going on. Almost seemed it was 'losing its hair'. Then one day at home playing xbox, I looked outside on the patio and i saw , ahem, MY LOVELY cat up high next to the pot nibblin on the leaves. She was the culprit. Any pointers on what to do about this. I read somewhere that i should grow some catnip or something for the cat and that should deter it from my boxwood. What d'yall think.

Thanks again,
