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?

ok to Clarify I am not trying to let my cat eat house plants. he likes things that are long and stringy, like the plant, I don't think he'd eat it but I don't wanna give him that chance. they are my moms plants and they are on the floor of the living room where the computer is, so if I have him on my lap sometimes he escapes from me and goes over there but I haven't seen any marks on them from him. I always make him get away from there.

Okay, if your cat likes to chew on things that are long and stringy, do not have things in the house that encourage that behavior (whether it's intentional or not). I had a tuxedo who like to chew on things that were long and stringy - I can't even figure out where she found half the stuff she ate, because I hid everything stringy from her, but there was always something in her stool when I cleaned the kitty litter (sorry to be gross, but you notice things). She bit the ties off of so many dresses because my other cat taught her how to open the closet door. She ended up eating sewing thread and it sawed through her lower intestine. She died in surgery.
So. No Spider Plants. It will just encourage a behavior that could get him killed if he eats the wrong thing.

You really don’t want to let your pets chew on any house plants. You should probably get some cat grass for kitty to nibble. Most plants are not supposed to be digested and, poison or not, can upset kitty’s tummy.
A good sign of poisoning is your cat throwing up. The onset is quick after eating it and vicious. Vet care is needed right away.

It's ok and normal for your cat(s) to chew on plants. There are some common plants, however, that you should not have in your house if you have a cat. Visit this website for a complete list at the bottom.

You can actually buy cat grass at the pet store that you can grow and your cats will love.

There is a product you can buy at the pet store that puts a bitter flavor on your plants without harming them Kitty won't like the flavor

Why are you letting your cat chew on your plants anyway?? If you read that it was safe, then it probably is. You answered your own question!! I still wouldn't let my cat chew on a plant though, it's a sign of poor diet or he has a stomach problem. When you see a cat chew on grass, it means they have a belly ache or lacking something in their diet. Take him to a Vet!!
