Our cats will get into a larger potted plant too (usually the banana/elephant ears/taro) ...I discourage that with aluminum foil or upside down pie tins lol otherwise they dig in the dirt to do you know what... at least our dog hasn't ever lifted his leg as he could care less when we bring plants in. When we put up our xmas tree my one cat spaz always has to lay under it lol has ever since he was a kitten (ok used to climb it but knows better now) I always put little bells on the bottom for him to play with so I know when he's under it lol
