Most cats are pretty picky eaters. Mine whines at me when it’s
her dinnertime, but when I fill her bowl, she gives me this LOOK that says, “What’s
this rubbish?” That said, it isn’t unheard of for a cat to eat one of the
things it really shouldn’t. At the top of this list are several houseplants. If
you own a cat (it probably actually owns you), you should avoid chrysanthemums,
pothos, English ivy, dieffenbachia, sago palm, amaryllis, and most lilies. Lots
of flowering bulbs are toxic to cats, including hyacinth, crocus, daffodil, and
tulip. But there are also several houseplants that are completely safe for
cats. Some of my favorites are spider plant, bamboo palm, Boston fern, African violet,
money tree, Christmas cactus, and peperomia. And if you actually WANT your
kitty to munch on the greenery, plant catnip, valerian, cat grass, licorice root,
lemon root, mint and cat thyme.
