caught mid chomp, little gremlin. almost every plant is toxic to him yet he craves the death greens.

Have you tried planting a tray of grass for him to eat instead?
planning on getting him some cat grass! nothing as of yet but it's our next purchase.
In the meantime try a handful of regular ol' lawn grass, if you know it's not full of pesticides. My cat loves the random grass I weed out of my outdoor plant pots even more than the official Cat Grass I grow indoors. By the way, don't bother with fresh catnip, it's not for eating and most cats would rather sniff the dried kind.
I have 2 toddlers and 2 cats, redirection is much more successful than negative reinforcement for both.
definitely, i believe it. luckily i mostly teasingly swat at him as he tends to avoid the plants. he had to pester again today though.
You can flip over a wire frame trash can and attach it to what ever surface you're keeping your plant on. It might look TRASHY lol though. Because it's a table, I'd use the adhesives that they make for temporary wall hooks. Easy to install, easy to remove. There's tons of other wire sheets/ frames you can look into, too.
Super cheap method: buy some chicken wire and make a dome.
Give your cats kitty psychedelics and get spider plants.
