Listed below are indoor and out door plants that have not been reported as having
systemic effects on animals and those best to avoid. This is by no means a complete
list.
Top Tips: Put sticky tape round indoor plants you don't want them getting their paws into - they don't like the feeling of it on their paws. Keep a pot of "cat grass" available for cats that cannot go outside. *Feline Friendly: Alyssum, Basil, Bamboo, Begonia, Buddleia (Butterfly Bush), Calendula, Catmint (Nepeta faassenii), Chamomile, Coriander, Cosmos, Cress, Dahlia, Dianthus (Pinks), Dill, Dorotheanthus (Ice plant), Forget-me-not, Heliotrope, Hollyhock, Hyssop, Impatiens, Lavander, Lettuce, Lovage, Marum (Cat-Thyme), Miniature Rose, Mint, Pansy, Parsley, Rose, Rosemary, Shasta Daisy, Snapdragon, Spearmint, Spider plant, Sunflower, Tarragon, Thyme, Umbrella plant, Verbascum, Violet Plants To Avoid: Aloe Vera, Amaryllis, Azalea, Baby's Breath, Christmas Rose, Clematis, Cyclamen, Daffodil, Diffenbachia, Dracaena - Dumb Cane, Easter Lily, Eucalyptus, Foxglove, Geranium, Ivy, Morning Glory, Mother-in-law's Tongue, Narcissus, Nightshade, Oleander, Onions, Poison Ivy, Primrose, Tiger Lily, Weeping Fig, Yew *Please note even non-toxic plants eaten in excess can cause symptoms such as vomiting or diarrhoea. Benefits of keeping houseplants for you (remember what is good for you is also good for your feline friend). Research proves plants cleanse the air of toxins such as formaldehyde found in many household goods such as carpets and furniture. Spider plants are particularly good at doing this; an extra bonus to spider plants is their compatibility with our feline friends. Boost Oxygen: More air means more energy and relaxation. They can absorb the static electricity given off by computers and other electrical equipment. And reduce air borne dust in the home . Healing: They reduce headaches, blocked sinuses, skin irritations and much more; indeed, the very presence of plants has been shown to increase positive feelings and reduce feelings of anxiety, anger and sadness. Absorb Noise: Big plants of all kind especially large - leafed varieties at the edge of a room.
