My cats do not normally bother the plant untill I cut it and it releases a more intense smell.

This is a picture from a couple years ago when we got a lot of rain, it got tall and I held it up till finished blooming.
Don't water it , much shorter in a hot dry area, also better color.
My original plant has been divided several times and shared all over the gardening neighborhood.
The plant can be cut down to about 4'' after bloom to get a second bloom and keep it from flopping.
..a balanced life is worth pursuit.
