If you want to provide a plant that your cat can eat (so hopefully he will leave your plants alone), you can buy small containers of oat grass.

African violet (Saintpaulia)
Aluminum plant
Any of the true ferns (Boston fern, maidenhair, etc.)
Cacti (but make sure they are real cacti, not just a succulent)
Catnip
Coleus

In addition to LeeCee's excellent answer, I can offer ways to keep cats out of plants. Spray with a deterrent, such as Indoor No! for cats. Sometimes works, but not always. Place citrus peels in the pot all around the base of the plant, cats usually hate the smell of citrus.
If your cat has a fetish for using the pot as a litterbox, place regular window type screen, cut to fit, over the dirt, and cover with river rocks or marbles.
To keep the cat from chewing houseplants, mix cayenne pepper into some vaseline, and smear on leaves. It won't hurt the plant or the cat, but it'll break him, quick! Good luck!

Answer 7

yes,some. I am not sure exactly wich ones, but they can make your cat very sick. just move all of the plants you have on to tables, or kitchen counters, or anywhere they cant get to them. if your cat is allowed to go on tables, then i suggest to not have plants, or train him/her not to go on the tables.
