Luckily there are plenty, so you can still fill your home with lots of green babies, as well as furry ones. Cats tend to be a little over-adventurous and won\u2019t hesitate to take a nibble of a leaf or two. Making sure your plants are non-toxic to cats is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a great list of some popular plants that are definitely safe for your housemate:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Boston Fern<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kentia Palm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spider Plant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dwarf Banana Plant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>String of Hearts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Calathea\/Zebra Plant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Venus Fly Trap<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ponytail Palm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Money Tree<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Polka Dot Plant<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.republicofcats.com\/thelick\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Republic-of-Cats-The-Lick-images-60-edited.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4885\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.republicofcats.com\/thelick\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Republic-of-Cats-The-Lick-images-60-edited.png 1080w, https:\/\/www.republicofcats.com\/thelick\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Republic-of-Cats-The-Lick-images-60-edited-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/www.republicofcats.com\/thelick\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Republic-of-Cats-The-Lick-images-60-edited-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.republicofcats.com\/thelick\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Republic-of-Cats-The-Lick-images-60-edited-768x480.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A simple google down at the garden centre usually does the trick if you\u2019re unsure whether a plant is safe or not, but this list is a great go-to if you\u2019re looking to stock up on some stems. Some of the most popular house plants are actually some of the most toxic to our feline. Be sure to avoid both Snake Plants and Monsteras when trying to achieve the most Pinterest-worthy, leafy interiors. It just isn\u2019t worth it. Any type of Lillies are also top of the list to avoid, an absolute no-go when it comes to the cats. Keep these out of your home as they are extremely toxic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re worried your cat has sampled something they shouldn\u2019t have, be sure to get to your vet straight away. Drooling and vomiting are good signs to let you know something isn\u2019t right, and depending on the plant your cat could seem a little \u2018drunk\u2019 if they\u2019ve ingested something toxic. It\u2019s always better to be safe and seek your vet&#8217;s advice if you\u2019re unsure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Feline-friendly plants for your home<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4883,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[44,42,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4881","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cat-ownership","category-fleas-ticks-and-other-threats","category-lifeguides"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Which plants are safe for my cat?
