What is it with cats and peppers? Mine keeps sniffing around them and I’ve threatened her with the bbq grill. She just stares back with her holier than thou look. Last year, she knocked over the tomatoes and peppers so had a late start. One day, young lady, one day! She’s real scared as she’s licking my chin.
I've planted some catnip, but it's out under the cold frame, and not big enough yet to give them. I'm hoping that next year, I'll have enough greens in the house to distract them from the stuff I seriously need for canning.

Cats eat greens, and if your pepper plants are handy, cats WILL eat the leaves. Then, if you’re lucky; they will yark it up all over your rug or pillow. Tomato plants are toxic, so they ignore them. (They may nip at a leaf if it catches their eye as a ‘toy’, but they won’t eat them, as a general rule.)
