Plants to avoid for cats


Any time you get a new houseplant, it’s a good idea to run it by the ASPCA’s thorough list of Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List for cats. They also have many other toxic and non toxic lists for different types of animals if you have other furry friends, so it’s a great resource to keep bookmarked.

Keep in mind that although these plants are not poisonous to your cats, they also aren’t meant to be eaten by them. Try to keep them from nibbling as much as possible, but you won’t need to worry if they do sneak a bite or two.
