I don't want to kill my cats...

... that's why I need this question answered, please!

These holidays have been very hectic for me and hubby this year and we have not had the oppotunity to decorate as we'd have liked. So, last night, feeling guilty, I went out and bought a teeny fern like christmas tree. It's not even really a tree so much as a potted plant. But it looks tree-like and I think it is a fern. Anyway, it's on top of my entertainment center surrounded by tin foil in the hopes that the "kids" won't send it crashing to the floor.

My questions is: if they eat the fern, will they get sick? My house is plant free, not only because I have a black thumb, but also because I am afraid of poisoning my boys.

Any thoughts or advice?

Thanks!

And a WONDERFUL holiday to you all! :-D

Most ferns are not poisonous, however, I would keep the plant out of their reach, spray it with bitter apple, and lock it in the bathroom when you aren't home Better safe than sorry

Hey Toni...

Here is a link to a list of poisonous plants:
