I think you need to try and figure out why they're eating the plants.
Are they indoor cats? If so try growing some cat grass for them (any pet supplier should have some), I would imagine they would choose that over a cactus any day!
If they don't though - it might be worth asking your vet since that really isn't healthy behaviour.
If they do go outdoors, I would suspect it isn't that they're missing anything but that something is stressing them out, are the plants all in the same area or by windows? There might be something outside making them act strange (I think it's more likely they would spray if it was this, but it's worth considering).
Good luck!
They are indoor cats. I will try the grass, but ask the vet as well because it is becoming a bit of an obsession. They also throw the pots to the floor all the time and make a mess.
