To protect plants from cats
Cats like to rest in the pots with plants, In my case, in the pots with Begonia , Lillies and geraniums. Then somewhere, on this site or elsewhere I read the advice to put something with edges in the pot like small cones of pine. I got rid of their habit by placing broken pieces of pots . But recently on of the pot with my precious Rex Begonia was used as a jumping board to climb on the wall and while doing so turned it over. Pot was broken and plant totally destroyed. I re potted (or rather buried) the remains of the poor plant hoping that it may grow new leaves.

Re: To protect plants from cats
Are your talking about pet cats or unwanted guests i.e. stray cats? If the stray cats are a problem, probably the easiest thing is to stop feeding them inside the house (keep food outside). This also means that trash cans should not be kept within their reach.
