15 Of The Safest Plants For Cats—And Which Ones To Avoid

Once you find a cat-safe indoor plant for your space, it’s still a good idea to limit your feline’s access to it. Dr. Kelly Cairns, vice president of medical excellence and education for Thrive Pet Healthcare, explains, “Eating just about any plant could cause vomiting and diarrhea in your cat, especially if ingested in large quantities.”

What Do I Do If My Cat Eats A Plant?

If your cat starts to show signs of plant poisoning (common symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, excessive salivation, difficulty swallowing and convulsions), Cairns recommends immediately calling your veterinarian, the Pet Poison Helpline (855-764-7661) or ASPCA Poison Control (888-426-4435) to prevent severe complications.
