Laura: If you have plants with large central stems, get those clear plastic trays that are supposed to go under a pot to protect the surface underneath. The tray should be just a bit larger in diameter than the *top* of the pot. Cut a hole in the center *just* large enough for the plant's stem to fit through, then cut a slit from the center hole through to the edge of the tray. Fit it upside down over the pot, tape the slit closed, and tape the tray to the pot in several places so it can't be lifted up by the determined little monsters. The only other option is to hang your plants from the ceiling, far from anything that fuzzy acrobats can use as a springboard to leap onto the plants. Good luck!
