OMG it is a real disaster! I am so sorry for you! The poor cat must have been mad being closed in the polytunnel without being able to go out for such a long time. I appreciate how you take it Lyn, that the cat comes first. You really got alot of extra work to do now, repotting all those plants and cleaning up. The best thing is that the plants were not damaged! Thanks for sharing everything with us! Hope you have a great day my friends Lyn and Hans! Lots of love and happiness!

If I could just wave a magic wand and put it all back together again!! 🪄 It warms my heart though how you were more concerned for the puddy cat.. 😽❤ Thank goodness he's OK.. Of course it could have been much worse, and I don't think the ginger boy will be back in a hurry.. My cats live indoors (and have access to a "catio" outside) so they don't touch my cacti..

Oh man, that is so sad! Would installing window screening on your green house doors help? That way you can keep the doors closed, while still getting air into the tunnel and it will keep the animals out. I do realize that you need plastic on the doors during cold spells, but perhaps you could get some removable fiberglass sheets for the doors for when you need extra protection?

Ohnoooo, Lyn!! So terribly sorry to hear and see what has happened, Lyn, sounds like definitely the very last thing you needed when you are so busy at the moment any way! I can 100% feel for you as I had something a little similar happen to me several years back, when I had two cats that were fighting over a dead mouse storm into my old greenhouse during broad daylight and they smashed everything off the large tables and shelves... I know exactly how you are feeling, full of despair and frustration, but try not to worry too much, Lyn, everything can and will be fixed and OK again, and sooner than you think! I think you are taking a very healthy and fantastic attitude, being so positive and thankful nothing even worse happened (...cat could have injured itself, or this could have happened during the winter, etc, etc). I know that this all is no consolation right now. If only I was living a bit closer, I would really like to come over to help you and Hans with the clean up, repotting and fixing the polytunnel... Take a few deep breaths, have a cuppa or two first, and then, with fresh energy, perhaps after sleeping over this for a night, step by step work your way back to what will be an even tidier and even better polytunnel setup than you have ever had! At the back of every storm there is a silver lining! Wishing you and Hans lot's of strength and positivity, despite this all, sending you very best greetings over to you both on the beautiful Emerald Isle! Kind regards and best wishes from the bottom of my heart, Joe

The rootballs seem pretty dry so that definitely helps and the weather looks overcast for the next few days so less stress on the plants. Yes, I have been there on a much smaller scale. I had a wooden shelf unit collapse that was packed with rows and rows of just watered cactus and succs.

Oh my goodness what a disaster, Lynn! I had similar one winter (I don't close my greenhouse doors at night in summer) when I locked our cat, Catskydoodles, in the greenhouse one night when closing up. Well, she shredded the bubblewrap in several places but luckily there was no plant damage or pot upset (as has happened with you). I must say you are very stoic and have taken this better than I did. Although I did know that it wasn't the cat's fault really at all.

We have 3 cats, but one of them is the daredevil type, climbing up and potentially knocking everything down. My wife's poor Jade has been knocked over and uprooted at least 7 or 8 times last winter, and her Haworthia zebra plant got it once. They're both doing excellent now that they've been out on the porch for the grow season, but never forget, cooler weather is coming....

Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! I kept saying it over and over as you pan your camera until the end of this video. I’m so sorry Lyn. But that damage on your polytunnel cover, oh dear. 😔 Maybe you can do a big plastic sheet patch from the outside? Disaster in my backyard is usually from the strong winds, or my dogs chasing a cat or a bird. 🦜 OR my son and his friends knocking down or dropping their toys on my plants. 🤣

😸😸😸😸! Poor kitty got hugged by prickly cactuses! It didn’t expect to get pricked 🙀😾😸😸😸 My beautiful Monströse cactuses I’ve been caring with love, 4 different kinds, were nipped, chewed away & one eaten down like a watermelon rind by BABY SQUIRRELS! For years I’ve had them out starting in the spring & they’ve never bothered before & there’s always been squirrels around my property! But for the first time, ever , they did a number where I’ve had to cut down to the stumps & saved what I could, & left stems of the original cactuses. Now I will start 8. I guess that’s a good thing & hopefully new babies will grow from the original. I did spray liquid fence around the rest of my cactuses, because we’ve seen a nest of 6 babies 😤🤬. You, you are my reason for loving cactuses & thank you! I’ve learned a lot watching your videos ! Thank you for sharing & teaching me! Enjoy them all!

Oh no, it's such a horrible feeling when you see something like this has happened to your plants. I love cats so I would be the same as you, so relieved that he is OK! Also good that that there doesn't seem to be any damage to the plants although it's going to be a lot of work. I've had a few disasters, once with a woodpigeon coming in the back door that I'd left open and then crazily flapping around a window to get out and knocking all my cacti off the windowsill - I managed to catch the pigeon and put him outside again, he was uninjured and flew off. The other time, a squirrel that I'd been feeding climbed in my kitchen window and knocked most of the cacti off the sill, not too much damage, just a few scratches and broken bits and pieces on the cacti and the squirrel was fine.

Make up a wooden or get a frame of whatever material that can span or fit in the door opening covered with shade cloth or a home made roll down & have it fixed at the lower 1/2 or higher to stop resident cat burglars getting in. If you know someone in the building industry or ally mesh security door screens that have fine wire mesh incorporated they work well. Bare ally mesh is fine however cats are expert contortionists so mesh needs to be small say palm size opening. That however won't stop kittens or rodents hence metal fine mesh or even chicken wire. PS: The cat was actually trying its hand at desert plant arrangement & was going for a more natural look. It kinda got carried away somewhat & went overboard.
