Hello imaginae

I'm not the best person to help you, but most people on this forum are not very active on the weekends so I will try to help for now. As long as there is life in the center crown you can save your plant. If the cat did not eat it down to the neck you should have some life left. I have rescued violets from the box stores that were broken, smashed, and dying, never lost one. So keep your plant from the cat and tomorrow you will get some appropriate help

You only have one violet? You need more violets.

Hello Imaginae,

Like Thom, I'm no expert on these things, but I've had some success with saving dying plants from my local box stores. If you have no leaves at all, I think you're going to have a hard to saving the plant since there is nothing to trigger the photosynthesis.

I totally recommend you try to save it though, if for no other reason than the challenge of it. I would place the plant under fluorescent light, make sure it's in appropriate moistened soil, and place a ziplock baggie over it to maintain moisture. If nothing happens after a month, then the plant probably isn't going to make it.

Do you know what type it was? Perhaps you could obtain a leaf to start over.

Excellent Advice. If the stem is alive and well - it will send a new growth - especially under the baggie. Just be sure that the soil is barely moist, not wet.

Hi,
You might try putting it into a plastic baggie to retain some of the moisture in it, Just don't put the baggie in the sun or it will cook the plant. Are there any leaves left at all?
If so you could put one down in some potting mix and restart it that way.

I hope your African Violet came back!

I just put my first and only AV on a window and I am praying my cats stay away during the middle of the night!

Does anyone happen to know how this plant turned out? Did it survive or was it lost? Just curious
