    Help needed on houseplants

    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 - 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!!

    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! I have a fire place mantel I put my flowers on. They can't get up there unless a chair is nearby.
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    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

    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.
    Bob & Joey,
    and their happy and willing slave, Bryan.

    Many Thanks to Kay for the Picture.
