Smokey loves to dive into my large ficus tree and make a mess! He is like alittle kid playing in the dirt. I watch him to see if he is using it as a litter box, but so far he hasn't. Just likes to play in it. What do you all do to keep your cats from doing this? Nano.

I put tin foil in the pots to keep Artemis from digging. I took the foil out after about a week and he seemed to have lost interest in the plants by then.

I cut a circle of hardware cloth out and put around the base of my plant on top of the soil. That stopped the digging. Wire window screen will work too.
