Cat Ate Drosera filiformis: Plant Recovery and Cat Deterrence

A cat consumed a recovering D. filiformis 'Red' that was dew-producing and flowering. The expert advises: trim damaged parts, restore good conditions – it will recover if roots intact. Sundews are non-toxic and apparently tasty to cats. To deter: place peppermint-oil-treated cotton balls around pots (reapply daily); cats hate peppermint.
