Alright so I left the house for 6 hours and forgot my door open, when I come back some of my leafs have missing tips.

I also found this bug I have never seen before, but I don't think he has done it all himself

The leaf tip in image 3 looks like it was burned.

I think my cat didt cuz I know he is kinda attracted to the plant.

It could of been other bugs I haven't found meny but I did find 3 plant hoppers once, so there is a possibility there is more then one dude tripin on my tips.

In six hours or less, probably the cat...or you have big bug issues, which you did not find. My cat would chew off the tops and knock them over before I secured the space.

It's a classic cat nibble if I ever saw one, and i see them all the time on my indica's Look around for bugs but that's exactly what happens if I turn my head for a few minutes and my cat's around.

Someone suggested in another post about cat's chewing on leaves to grow some catnip for her, I may do that to keep her way from my plants. No biggie though, not like she's ever killed any plants by chewing the ends of the leaves. Good thing with my cat is she's outdoor most of the summer so i don't have to watch as closely during the summer, sneaky beatch.

I knew it was the cat, I think he really liked it 2 cuz every time I open the door he comes running for the plant.

Click to expand...

careful if you do this, grow the catnip in a totally different room or area...may end up badly
I did that, and my cat LOVED the catnip, she was all drunk on it and she rolled in the catnip like crazy, but then she proceeded to do the same (or try) to do it on my pot plants. I put the catnip outside and then she did the same to my bamboo plants.... I guess getting blasted on catnip makes you wanna rub against nature if you're a cat.

Cats will try to chew fresh green leaves of any sort every few days to help their digestive system, you will need to train them not go near your plants.
