Curiosity killed the plants: The cats may look uninterested in the potted plants now, but as youngsters they thoroughly enjoyed digging in them and knocking them to the floor. “I was always trying to find higher ground for the plants but the cats were determined to destroy,” Harmon says. Now the two are pretty good, but Harmon has learned to put the plants up higher or to give the cats a distraction, such as the shelves. Added decor: Andy and Ollie have multiple scratching posts around the apartment to keep them from scratching the furniture, especially while Harmon and her roommate are away. So far only the couch has suffered a bit of damage. “As a pet owner,” Harmon says, “I think you have to expect a certain amount of destruction.”
