Does anyone know of some good house plants that won't be harmful to my cats?

From a cat lovers webpage-plants that are safe and not safe for cats:

Does anyone know of some good house plants that won't be harmful to my cats?
I just bought a bamboo palm. It's on the "safe" list for cats and my cat seems to love it. Even if a couple leaves get chomped off the plant won't be harmed and the plant grows high enough to make the majority of the leaves untouchable.



I would recommend a cacti but my cat somehow ate that so... Perhaps your cats are slightly less psychotic and won't eat things with spines.



Here's a link I used to choose my houseplants:

Happy plant hunting!
Reply:After years of struggling to find something, I opted for just having mostly succulents, they tend to leave those alone. Any other plants I do have, I just keep out of reach.
Reply:this isn't really a houseplant..but grass is great for cats. it provides a nutritious snack..and they love it. you can buy small containers of the grass at many pet stores.
Reply:Here is a page from Purina's website about poisonous plants. Your local vet may have a list also.

Reply:Just grow any kind of grasses, or you can grow a tray of grass like my sister does for her cat.

Reply:Ferns, cat grass, cat nip, marigolds ( all animals tend to leave them be).
