Thanks for the link, I bookmarked it. Hope I won't ever have to use it though.

Thanks Jan, I need to find out if a Rubber Tree plant is toxic. I have a big one on my deck I want to bring inside for the winter but I want to find out first. I don't see it on this list. Does anyone know?

Lori, I also have a huge rubber tree, along with other huge plants that I need to drag in for the Winter...so the cats can once again trash them. :rolleyes: Unsure what the other name is for rubber trees though...anyone? :confused:

So you have brought yours in with the cats in the past? Beside trashing the plant no one got sick? I thought I read once that rubber tree plants weren't toxic to cats but I want to make sure.

I have another tropical plant I got this summer I want to bring in but I don't even know what it's called. It kind of looks like a palm but not exactly. Guess I should take a picture and see if anyone can identify it.

The plants take quite a beating from the monkeys when they come in for the Winter time. I stock up on "Bitter Apple' spray and spritz down plants that the cats are fond of chewing. I know philodendrons are toxic, and I have a huge "Fiddle leaf philodendron" that is like a toy for the cats. Never seen them chew on it, but don't want to risk it either! My most abused plant is my ficus tree. :rolleyes: The truck becomes a scratching post all winter, and protecting it from multiple claws is near impossible.:rolleyes:
