Okay, thanks for the voluminous list of poisonous plants to indoor cats. What indoor plants are SAFE for cats

Thanks for the list. I would like to have some house plants that are safe for my wonderful cat. Would someone name some common plants, such as jade plants, spider plants, etc... that are safe for my cat to be around?

Reply:Our cats LOVE Boston Ferns - and I do mean love them! I have to hang them from the ceiling rather than have them in planters because it is the only place that they can't get them. They would be picked clean otherwise. Any leaves that fall get quickly eaten. At least I never have to worry about vacuuming under them! If I take one down for watering, the cats follow me around in the hopes I will set it down and forget it there.

They are easy plants to grow, and safe if the cats eat it. I don't always have houseplants, but when I do I choose Boston Ferns.
Reply:I had an all green spider plant (the one that shoots the babys out on long limbs) and my cat nibbled on that EVERY DAY. she never became sick but I wanted a nice plant so I took it to work. She still looks in the spot for it though. I know the pet stores sell that cat grass too but I bought one once and saw that it had mold in the roots and threw it out. Also grow catnip for her. She might leave the other plants alone if you have a big pot of that.
Reply:jade plants! i have 2 cats (one of them is a kitten) and they love jade plants
