Can anyone name this plant/weed as Willow keeps licking the leaves.

[Kay and Penny]

if it is willowherb, I hope you like it, Mark - because it is going to be with you for always

If it's willow herb that's why she is attracted to it  

Here's a list of NON poisonous and willow herb is onthe list so she is ok Mark.

I know what you mean about colour of eyes - when Smudge went missing I knew he had yellow eyes and I was getting calls from people  and when I went to see the cats most of them had green eyes - It got to the stage where I could not believe anything anyone said and I went out to look at every cat that I got a call about.

I'm pretty sure I have this weed too (though not as much as you by the look of it!) and I think it is broad-leaf willowherb - which would be appropriate if Willow likes it

That's the nearest one I could come up with on weed Identification links I looked at but wasn't sure it was that one.  Maybe Willow knows

Mark have you tried the RHS forum? http://mygarden.rhs.org.uk/forums/254.aspx

they have an identification of plants thread.

I remembered the flowers as yellow but now you mention it, they are pink. long, thin petals I imagine as fairy flowers  - they are very delicate and break off really easily so sounds like they are the ones  - thanks

Willow Herb produces pink flowers, it does look like Willow Herb, but so do lots of other things. As far as I am aware Willow Herb isn't poisonous to cats, but I could be wrong. I frequently am!

It looks like a 'hebe' evergreen type bush Mark with a wax leaf.

Thats all I can tell you I'm afraid.

If it is a weed? You may be able to identify it here....   http://www.dgsgardening.btinternet.co.uk/weedlf.htm

Thanks - I can't see anything like it on there.

btw - I found out just how unobservant people can be. OH said he was worried about Willow as her eyes were yellow. I asked if it was the whites of her eyes. He said no, the iris - I pointed out that her eyes have always been yellow or copper coloured depending on lthe light. He said he though all cats had green eyes  - he has had Willow for about 9 years

I have seen it in our garden I'm sure but can't find out the name  really lovely photo though    black cats are sometimes hard to photograph but against green they take well I have one of our Squeaky on the lawn - his best photo.

I don't think it is that but wondered if anyone else knew better. I think she just licks the leaves to get water off them 

[maryas]

Mark if you find out for certain that it's making her sick you need to dig it up and throw it away chuck.  Sorry I do not recognise it.  Mind you I have lots of things in my garden and I have no idea what they are.

It looks like some weeds I pull out of the garden

[Mark]

She keeps licking dew/water off the leaves. She was doing it last week when she was sick and is doing it again this morning. I just want to make sure the leaves aren't poisonous. I'm not a gardener so haven't go a clue. I have a feeling that when it flowers, the flowers are yellow and don't last long. I have a feeling that when you touch them, they fall off easily.

Thanks
