I have removed candy, chocolate and any loose threads laying around, now that we have 10 week old Toulouse with us (Day 2).
Even small parts of toys are gonna have to be stored in sealable containers, at least.

We have many plants in our house, but I do not know their names. I plan on taking a leaf of each to be identified at the local hot house plant store. But, does anyone know of any good links with pics of toxic plants, at least indoor plants?

Here's the Cat Fanciers' Association list of plants that are toxic to cats:

Toxic Plant List (http://www.cfainc.org/articles/plants.html)


And if you go to this website, you can look up each toxic plant and find a picture of what it looks like:

Plant Database (http://www.plantcare.com/catalog/tepSearchByPlantName.php)

If you have a digital camera, you can also take a picture of each indoor plant and then show the pictures at your local plant store for identification.

Cut roses no. My gang loves smell of them. Skinny carried one over to a chair for me. He was smart and held it in his mouth with pedels. Tiny teeth marks were the clue. He knew it was delegate and didn't ruin the flower. What a smart guy :)

Craftlady,

Thank you. I didn't see the regular ivy on the list or in the photos. My kitty doesn't seem interested but she is changing every day. I'll keep an eye on her when I can. :) Debbie

I've honestly given up on houseplants. I love the look of them, but I've never been able to grow them. Saphirah thinks all plants are placed in the home for her to eat (including the artificial ones:rolleyes:).
