What are plants?  :tired:

They are those things that some other people manage to have in their houses, without  Mr T their cats thinking they've had a little, tasty fresh salad provided for them  ;)

Anyone want a potful of chewed, dessicated sticks ?   :evillaugh:

Yes, that's right - they do feel pretty rubbery.

fleshy - thick with slightly rubbery feel - would incline me back to peperomia then, unless Anthurium has fleshy leaves too?

Fleshy? I suppose they are, yes. (If I understand that description correctly in terms of a plant. ;)) Nope, no flowers just leaves. :)

Def Anthurium I have a couple, and def toxic to cats.

Really? Bit worrying; I bought it from the local CP shop and when I asked they said they thought it was safe to put it in reach of cats. (Maybe they'd not met a cat like Darwin.... :scared:)

Looks a bit like Anthurium? not sure, but if so, it is toxic to cats if ingested. 

Don't think it's an anthirium ... they are more waxy and the leaves are dark green  ;)

Its an aneamic anthurium LOL!  :evillaugh: - they do come in lots of colours though, from pale green through to bright red.

In ancient times cats were worshiped as gods; they have not forgotten this.
