What flowers and household plants are harmful for house cats?

The thing with poisonous plants I found was the quantity! I researched the plants I had in my house and found one was poisonous. Upon further research I found that it was only poisonous if a certain amount was eaten. So I figured that by the cats weight and found the cat would have to eat ONE POUND of whatever it was that was poisonous for it to even affect the cat. However I wouldn't take any chances! But that is a good thing to know at least. One leaf wouldn't hurt them, but I STILL WOULDN'T TAKE ANY CHANCES.

Their website is VERY helpful. I recommend you keep it bookmarked because it has a lot of great information and links that can assist you whenever you have a question n regards to the health and care of your pet.

Reply:Many of us love to decorate our homes with lush, green plants, and if you are like me, you prefer the live variety to silk or plastic. The downside to live plants, however, is that many of them are toxic to cats in one degree or another. Cats love to chew plants, so if you have any on this list, it's best to display them in a way that keeps them (and your cats) out of harm's way.





The following is a partial list of plants that are poisonous or hazardous to your cats, including some popular holiday plants. This list is by no means exhaustive, but will be updated from time-to-time, so bookmark this page.
