Animals hate citrus smells now orange works bet in my case. Any ways you can buy something it pet stores pre made in a spray bottle to stop from eating plant and clawing at funiture carpeted area such as stairs. It really quite handy. You could also grow your self or purchase a little grass plant for the kitten so it will leave the other plants alone. You could also get this at your local pet store. hope this help good luck. You probally should have gotten a cat from the shelter. Less problems that way.

Try some vinegar and dilute it with some water in a spray
bottle, then just spray around the planter area not directly on
the plant itself. The strong odor of the vinegar will get to your
cat. I have also used concentrated lemon juice as well, mix
the same way. Both of these are also handy for those nasty
pests around your home as well. Hope this helps you out.
It keeps my cats away. I also spray them with a water bottle
when i catch them in the act.

Let them continue.......they will definitely stop when they have become poisoned!
A lot of houseplants are very poisonous to animals.... you may want to research it and rid your home of those plants.
Now, they sell an indoor formula cat food that is supposed to help them get what they are trying to get from your plants.... same reason they will chew on weeds outside.... for the natural vegetable fiber, that helps move the hair through their digestive tract and helps control the formation of hair-balls.
See sources for a couple of lists I found

As long as your around to see it spray your cat with water. It worked with me. There are a lot of plants that make cats sick so check into it. Someone mentioned tinfoil, what a mess! Use double sided sticky tape. At least its not an eyesore!

Until you figure something else out, you need to move the plants, so the cats can't get to them. Some plants are toxic to cats!

I agree with tjslove. Cats hate the smell of citrus. Squirt the plants with lemon or orange and you can even leave pieces of the peel on top of the soil in the plant pot.

Spray the leaves with vinegar, shouldn't hurt the plant and the cat will stay away.

I'm not sure if this works for cats, but my dogs were chewing on the furniture and a person told me to use black pepper and it did the trick.

Surround the base of the plant with plenty of tin foil.
Or buy your cat it's own plant. Mine has cat grass, you can buy it at most pet stores.
