I want to know, which house plants are harmful to cats? Where is the best place to find out?

Question

My cats love to chew on my house plants. I want to know which plants are harmful and if I own any of them.

Answer 1

Don't let them chew on any! I almost lost my kitten to this. A couple that I know for sure are poinsettia, anything with thick waxy leaves, and lilies. Your vet will have a list. and If I remember correctly the ASPCA website had links to pages with feline poisons on them. If your cat does get into a plant that causes damage you'll know pretty quick. They start to vomit and then their bodies Will go into a cramp state. It looks like the Halloween cat. (arched back and legs extended). I hope this helps, I don't mean to scare you, but it is serious.

Answer 2

he's desperate he likes the domicile plant greater desirable. Make the plant much less perfect via protecting the dirt around the plant base with a sheet of aluminum foil so he resumes using his clutter container. After some week get rid of the foil. Then place some medium length ornamental rocks on the soil so he would not think of it quite is a sturdy place to commence using lower back.

Answer 3

I don't know off hand, I merely wish to make a suggestion.
Try planting millet seed (bird seed) or some pet stores carry 'cat' grass. Cats need/like greens, especially cats that are kept indoors (like mine). They can eat and chew and you don't have to worry, the seed is very cheap and they leave my houseplants alone :)

Answer 4

Many cat owner's manuals tell what plants are harmful to cats.

Answer 5

Lillies, Poinsettas, Christmas Cactus are three. Do a search on the web for the animal poison control center. They have one just like they have for people.
