I know certain fresh flowers are toxic to cats, for example, anything in the lily family. But I am wondering--any botanists out there--if the toxicity properties change after you dry the flowers.
I make dried flower wreaths and I hang them high enough that Ritz can't get/jump to. I also have dried flower arrangements in vases in lieu of fresh flowers, composed of flowers that I know are okay for cats (for example, roses).
But I'm wondering how careful, paranoid I have to be during the process of making the wreaths (depending on size, several hours to several weeks), specifically Hydrangeas, Sweet Annie, Eucalyptus, Baby's Breath. Plus I'd like to have more than just dried roses in the arrangements.
Thanks.
