I read a list of safe and toxic plants for cats. They say that hanging african violets and regualr ones are safe and that spider plants are safe so then would be it safe to say that the spider african plant is safe for my kitty? also is their any kind of plant that can kill a cat?I'd make sure I didn't have that kind. would it kill my cat fast?:-(would I know if he was sick from a plant?

Answer 2

Here are some sites for you. I didn't see dieffenbachia listed, your cat will act as though he has a stomach ache, vomit, diarrhea is possible. Most house plants are ok for critters. Teach your kitty the word "no" to keep him out of plants.
