Oh naughty kitty πŸ±πŸˆπŸˆβ€β¬›πŸ˜Ή! Well spider plants are very resilient even when the get pretty beat up! 😝. I’d gently trim off any brown and dried up leaves. Then make sure Layla has had a good soaking πŸ’¦ if she got dried out at all. It says 15 feet to light. That’s pretty far - remember light is food for plants. Without enough light they merely exist & eventually wither away. So see if there’s a safe place closer to a bright spot, like 3 feet from the light source. No direct sun β˜€οΈ while she’s recovering, especially if she’s not acclimated to any direct sunlight. And I wouldn’t add any fertilizer until after she’s recovered πŸ™Œ
Spider plants are save for cats but I have read they have a mildly hallucinogenic property, so it's a little like eating catnip for them! My cats kept eating mine so I moved it to a top bookshelf they can't get to. It's finally recovering. I think they'll always be tempted though. It's like a fun cat toy
