Hi All,

I
having plants in my house, but am also aware that many could be bad for the cats. My problem is that I can find the lists of plants bad for kitties, but when I go to buy the plants and they're not labeled, I don't know what they are (i.e. this weekend I bought one that was only labeled "Premium Foliage" which doesn't tell me a whole lot. Bring it home, do research last night and viola! Found out that it was a Corn Plant that is indeed poisonous to cats).

Does any one know of a good link that provides pictures with each of the poisonous plants?

Thanks!

I don't know of a link, but I'm pretty sure Spider Plants are bad for kitties.

My husband works in a nursery and he said that pretty much all house plants are poisonous to kitties.

Oh great...maybe I'll just go to Michael's and get silk trees...LOL.

The lists are long though. It's weird too cause some will list plants like the one I got this weekend and others won't. I'm thinking about going to a nursury instead of back to the retail store.
