So obviously, there are certain plants I will not keep in the house; poinsettias, lilies, hyacinth, daffodils, and other plants that even the pollen on your cats paws can create an issue.
But what about other plants like aloes that are only dangerous if ingested? I ask because I realized a few house plants I have, have sap that can be harmful to cats and dogs if they chew on them. My cat is 4 years old and has never bothered them, so do I keep them? Or toss them? Specifically I have pathos, snake plants, Moses in the bull rush, aloe, chamomile, and lavender plants (these two are outdoor plants in the warm months but come inside for the winter). I knew the aloe was toxic but he has never bothered them so I didn't think it mattered. But the Moses in the bullrush he used to sleep in as a kitten. He's too big for that now but never showed any interest in it other than the fact it in the best sunning window.
Some of these plants are cuttings from plants that were bought by my grandparents and even my great grandparents so I would really hate to give them away.
I was considering growing cuttings and starting a little at home green house but now I'm concerned about them being dangerous.
