Mini Greenhouse for seedlings cat proof!

I created this after I left my seedlings in plain sight one night and woke up to a cat licking its lips and an empty pot of dirt.  The cat proof mini greenhouse keeps the felines away and is an effective greenhouse for growing seedlings.

I have learned that nothing is cat proof (only cat resistant), but so far this has done the trick.

Step 1 What you need

1. A clean, empty 2 litre soda bottle with the label removed
2. A knife and puching tool (here a Swiss Army knife)
3. A hammer
4. A small nail
5. Fishing line
6. A piece of cardboard approximately 5.5" x 5.5"

I have to try this, just to test my little monsters, I mean cats.

I'm amazed your cat hasn't knocked it over. My monster of a cat knocked over a whole humidifier before.(actually several times >.> )

I dont get it why si the top cut up and faced downwards

I dont get it why si the top cut up and faced downwards but i think i get it now is it because of the water vapor.

i dont suggest watering through the bottle top if your growing tomatoes, they hate that

Hey its me again.. like I said.. I made a slightly different version of your cat proof mini green house! I had to change it around because the pot I wanted to use it on was too big. Here's some photos at last

Nice. That poor kitty looks hungry! Give him some of that Brewhouse, that'll calm him down (at least I think that's what that can is). I hope you poked some air holes in that cover!

haha! i'll be sure to give her some brewhouse :D Good call, it is brewhouse. ya I did poke holes in the cover, it waters great. My bots a self watering pot as well so I just keep water in the bottom and then water it less through the top. it stays nice and humid so works well. kitties a girl too, Delilah haha.

I gave up on indoor plants, my cat/s would eat them all. even a few cactus I had. One cat dug out all the rocks in the bottom of the pot so she could play with them. I also had two hanging plants Pothos, and they would leap into the pot and chew away. I am surprised they didn't get hurt.

i kinda cut mine too short for this one. and i just stuck the plastic inside my pot since it was so big. i used silicon to seal the pieces together. pretty cool idea though. i will be sure to post the next one i make too. thanks!

This is awesome - my cat won't be getting free snacks anymore!

Clever! My kitty recently pulled out a little apple seedling that I was proudly growing on my windowsill, he didn't event eat it, he just left it on the floor to die.

Looks effective - what seedling did the kitty munch?
