Though playing and munching on a bit of Majesty Palm leaves would not harm your pet but it can cause damage to the beauty and health of your adorable palms. You can try some of these tricks to keep both your Majesty palm and cats safe:

1. Grow Catnip

Cats usually have an urge to eat grass, and the reason why your feline is attracted to the Majesty palm is the green fronds of a palm tree in your room. To have something for her, you can grow catnip or cat grass, which most cats love. We have a great article on how to grow it here

2. Spread Citrus Fruit Skins

Cats tend to despise the scent of citrus fruits like grapefruits, limes, lemons, and oranges. Simply spread their peels around the plant to keep your cats away from them.

3. Make It Unappealing to Dig In

Cats love to dig in loose soil. You can cover the top of the soil with decorative rocks or, again, citrus peels (which most cats dislike the smell of). They’ll stay away!
