    Something can be toxic to cats and not to dogs; and vice versa. First you need to find out if this plant is toxic to cats specifically.

    In my experience, once they find something they like to munch, there's no stopping it!

    Having said that . . . my cats will nibble on my house plants. I add some Barley Cat to their food and they don't nibble my house plants. Then I get tired and forget the Barley Cat and in a few days, the nibbling starts again.

    Good luck!

    MaineCoonRescue.com lists ficus among the dangerous plants. I'll check out Barley Cat.

    Thank you! And I welcome other suggestions...

    From what I know ficus is toxic due to the latex it contains, which is very corrosive. I would say that the risk is low with dry leaves, but I am not sure at all. The main signs of toxicity are vomitting, salivation, diarrhea.
