We have a New Thing. I got a houseplant for my kitchen table. I wanted to
add a little color to my kitchen. It's called a Dutch Treat. It's really a
fig tree from southeast Asia but it can be a houseplant if you keep it
trimmed.

I don't think this is toxic to Isis. She discovered the New Thing and now,
every morning, she makes a beeline to my kitchen table and starts nibbling
on the leaves. She doesn't like to eat them as much as she enjoys tearing
off the leaves and dropping them on the kitchen table for me to clean up.

I would like to keep this little plant and not watch it get decimated into
shreds. What can I do? Is there maybe some kind of "Nasty Kitty Taste" juice
I could spray on it? Lemon juice, maybe?

A friend suggested I get a catnip plant for her to destroy and I might be
interested in doing that but I do prefer to give her her Catnip fix once a
month rather than every day.

Thanks!
