Some non toxic plant ideas please!

[JackSpratt]

Well, one of those is the leading feline resource sites in the UK, so I'm going with it's safe, I think. Blimey, that was hard work to figure out!

(Thanks peeps! )

[sweepster]

Oh yes, I see.  That's confuzzling 

It isn't on these lists of poisonous/potentially harmful plants either:

The list I put on before your link says a Cast Iron plant is safe; which is what an Aspidistra is apparently.....

[sweepster]

Right. So on the other lists it's wrong then? I asked the lady in the shop and she said she'd had one of these plants for years and her cats had no interest in it. Therein lies the problem, Darwin is interested in everything so I guess that's a no go for me. Wish all the lists would make up their minds!

Will do, Mark.

I can't see aspidistra on the Cat Fanciers' Association list of safe plants.  There's something called Aspidium falcatum, but that's a type of holly 
Erm, I mean a type of fern. Was momentarily distracted by cat's bum in face

According to this, aspidistra is a member of the lily family, so I'd avoid it...

Might be worth telling the people in the CP shop as well

Lottie, is an Aspidistra a form of yucca plant?

[Lottie (Team Svartalfheim's)]

Yucca plants are ok as far as I know (based on the fact they put yucca extract in a lot of cat foods and I had a cat as a child who kept eating my Mum's yucca plant for years and was absolutely fine) although you'd need to double check.

Can anyone see Aspidistra on the lists? They're selling some at the local CP shop and I was pondering buying one, but won't if they aren't safe.

I was very surprised to see that aloe is poisonus, but they are very spikey and Ai chan avoids that and my cactus plants
thanks for adding this list mark, has I am a avid plant lover

[Mark]

A "friendly" list is probably handier than checking a "no" list.

I didn't know until a few years ago that christmas plants are poisonous to cats. 

[Kirst]

Thats what I was after , Thanks Mark.

[Mark]

All lilies are lethal to cats

I am re-vamping my conservatory , and would like to put a couple of karge leafy plants inb there - I was hoping some of you might have some ideas as of course they must be cat safe (as Jerry is sure to want a nibble!)


Thanks!
