Why
do my cats tear up the leaves off my house

I think your
cats enjoy this! They are just playing. As
far as I can see you have few options. You
could try moving your plants to a higher

toys that will keep your cats amused for
long periods of time. This may not stop them
from doing it but will probably reduce the
damage!
