[Canuk Pepperhead]

Get a dog as a bodyguard? :O

[Canuk Pepperhead]

lol my dog is useless unless you want to get licked to death hehehe

[Omri]

Get:

Heaviest weight you can find
Meanest dog you can find
Lots of Bhut Jolokias


Put the plant on top of the weight.
Glue the Bhut Jolokias all over the dog, and chain it to the weight.

If it works on elephants, it'll work on cats. :lol:

Are you sure this is a pepper plant? I've never had any problems with cats bothering the peppers outside except to dig a potty hole in the soft, loose dirt of the garden.

If they're indoor cats, maybe they need some greens in their diet. Buy a bag of annual rye grass and grow it in a wide, shallow pot. They charge a fortune in the pet stores for the rye grass and a plastic bag instead of a pot.

Thats good lateral thinking Pam.

I'd be inclined to try garlic spray.

Omri: you crack me up :lol:

Thank you.

Purina Cat Chow has garlic in it, and most cats love it. I'd go with a pepper spray.

ill look into that.. my 2 males(fixed) spend all time out doors but when the white stuff hits well they are house cats lol..Mind you I dont blame them...Just never seen a response to a pepper plant like this before..Thats why I was curious

[Canuk Pepperhead]

its funny my female who never goes out doors she doesnt even look at the plant
and well my dog just dont care lol

[Omri]

Maybe the chile plant is in heat! *drums*
:lol:

[Canuk Pepperhead]

lol

[Omri]

Now seriously.
Plants produce all kinds of different hormones while growing. perhaps one of them is the cause, "perhaps"...

[Canuk Pepperhead]

anything is possible I guess..but this natural gas heat is the real killer of this plant...even my buddy couldnt see what else would be drying the plant the way it is(well besides meing molested my the cats lol)

[Omri]

Plant hormones are just chemicals, they can other stuff as well. :P
I don't know about you, but if a cat was molesting me, I'd be in serious depression. :lol:

[Canuk Pepperhead]

lol your too much
