Cat ate new growth on sprouts will they survive?

[Linda Prad]

Hi everyone, newbe here. Thanks for letting me join and answering my question.

I had some seedlings started in my window above my sink and they had just started getting growth on them other then the sprout leaves. Overnight one of my cats ate all of the new growth but left the sprout leaves. Will these survive or will I need to start over?

Thanks,
Linda

Linda, I think you ought to start over. Being pruned at that early age would certainly deter most plants from growing.
Speak to your cat about gardening habits. Also, put a plastic lid, or plastic wrap, or half a 2 liter clear bottle over the seedlings. It will not only act as a mini-greenhouse, it will deter the cat from having a midnight vegan snack!
