I received this in my E-mail today, and thought this would be a great place to post this. I'm sure at one time or the other we all wondered what plants were harmful to our feline friends.
Cats and Plants
Did you know that many common houseplants can be harmful, if not deadly, to cats?
Here are just a few to avoid:
-Chrysanthemums--potted variety often given as gifts
-Crocus--spring flowering bulb
-Pothos and Ivy--common cascading greenery
-Dracaena and Philodendrons--frequently used for height in the indoor garden.
There are, however, some lovely plants that are perfectly safe for your kitty:
-African Violet--popular potted plant given as a gift
-St. Bernard's Lily--summer flowering bulb
-Boston Fern--common hanging greenery
-Bamboo Palm and Kentia Palm--popular house palms.
