The tomato plants was another casualty of the ongoing war between my cats and plants. Today, one of my cats got scared and tried to get under my plant set up in the bathroom, and destroyed some plants.
I used to have 50 tomato starts but due to my other cat trying to play gardener, I am now down to 4, this one included.
This one seemed salvageable, it was bent at a weird position, making the top weak and limp. So, I did trim it and repoted it into this cup to put on the toilet tank with a closer grow light to see if it'll grow back.
Is that a possibility that it will bounce back? It's roots seemed healthy, it's still green, no dark spots.

I’m worried about it
Worth a try, I think. It looks healthy enough for now. It also looks like it doesn’t have a growth tip left, but if the roots succeed at acclimating themselves to the new environment, suckers should start popping up and growing.
Well, where are you in the world?
You should still be able to start some seeds and get some crops.Especially if they’re early varieties.
There are a lot of heirlooms that are early
Ah! Thats tomato cpuntry for sure. You can still start a few.
Tomatoes are extremely resilient and great at regenerating. As long as there are intact growth tips, you could cut the stem, shove it in some moist soil, leave it in the dark for a week, and it will regrow roots and fully recover.
I’d say no
