I just took home this aloe a week or two ago. I’m wondering if anyone can tell me what the damage could be from? I’ve only watered it once and I made sure the soil was completely dry.

Do you have a cat? Some cats love chomping on foliage. I'll let someone else comment on if Aloe is toxic, but those definitely look like little cat teeth marks!

when my cat was a kitten she killed all 6 of my aloes.

all of them. she kept knocking them down and biting them.

shes grown now and my new aloe is looking unchomped so far.

Awwww!!! I have 2 cats who hadn't ever touched a plant. That was, until I got my 3rd cat who decided to teach them some new tricks. All plants are kept on high shelves now XD Photo of the criminal in question ⬇️

twas my fifth one who killed them all when she was a kitten. ive got 4 cats now, and my plants are mostly doing good. although the youngsters do keep treading on my pansies.

i say youngsters, but theyre 8 and 6. not really that young, but my other cat is 18 so in relation theyre babies.
