Hey! I'm new here. Does anybody know if lavender plants are dangerous to cats? I saw one at the nursery this morning and I'd like to have it here in the house but I don't know about Boo Boo. I don't want to take any chances. Can anybody help me? Thanks.
It doesn't appear on the lengthy list I found here:

So it may be safe. I have a little lavendar plant by the kitchen door, and I wondered if Miss Hoppy (my bunny) would eat some of it. She ate a whole row of lavender seedlings once, but they were sunning on "her" windowsill, so it may have had more to do with that than with their taste!
Thanks! I'll got check that site now for info on other plants. LOL about Miss Hoppy! How dare a plant invade his lounging territory!
Her lounging territory, not his! Sorry!
It was funny - she ignored them for a few weeks, so I thought they were safe, until they were just about big enough to transplant and then... snip snip munch munch gone!!!
aw , I visited that site with toxic plants !!!
I did not realise that there were so many !!!
I am glad that my Sydney is an indoor cat !!!
Karen , is this the same for rabbits ?? We have a rabbit too and she often sits outside in the grass !
I don;t think it's the same for rabbits at all - cats are meat-eaters by nature, bunnies are plant-eaters, so I imagine their nutrritional needs are completely different.
Miss Hoppy will eat choice pieces of grass, but we'd have to have a whole herd of bunnies to replace the lawn moser - she's very picky! (And has never gotten sick after eating anything she found outdoors, either. ;)
