I just received a really pretty Hyacinths from my neighbor. Smells beautiful!! :) I know how my guys are around flowers, so I *thought* I put it up high enough and away from them. - WRONG - :mad: :eek: You guessed it. It took only 10 minutes and there was Yoshi, he got it. He bit right into it and it came crashing down. Now I have a broken plant and a bunch of dirt to pick up!! :mad: :mad:

I remember seeing a list of plants that were toxic to cats. Can anyone give me that list again??

Any one have any suggestions on how I could enjoy this plant with out any interruption from my curious boys?????

Only outside!:D I have a fire place mantel I put my flowers on. They can't get up there unless a chair is nearby.

I bought a spray some weeks ago to put on things you don't want your cat to come near. Costello likes to sharpen his claws on the coach (yes, we need a new!) and this spray really works, but you have to "update" it every two weeks. This spray is a Swedish brand, but I'm sure you have the same spray where you live. Ask in the pet shop. Try to use the spray on the pots.

Here's a list of plants that are toxic to cats and should be avoided.

Good luck!

After two and a half years of trying to stop Ally from destroying all my indoor plants I have discovered the solution - get PLASTIC ones:rolleyes:

I always loved hyacinths... but Filou used to eat them. I don't think they are good for him, so no more hyacinth smell:( :( :(

We have the same problems. I one plant that they both stay away from. Every thing else is silk or plastic.:)
