Just get it litter box trained and turn it loose. I bought a scratching post and the cat wont touch it- he has decided one corner of the wooden cabinet the television sits on is his scratching post and absolutely nothing will deter him. I have plants all over the house but he only tries to play with the "dangley" ones so I have draped dangling trailers where he can't reach them. Do find the cat a "lovey" that it likes, mine uses one of my handmade voodoo dolls and snuggles with it frequently. I also leave the patio door partially open during the day so he can hang out on the balcony when he wants and watch the birds- he doesn't mess with my plants out there either. Cats are smart.
As an American it's your responsibility to have your own strategic duck stockpile. You can't expect the government to do it for you.
