Cats and House Plants


We all want to have a bit of green in our house and what better
 way than house plants? However, house plants and felines are not 
always the best of friends. Some house plants can make your cat 
sick or even be fatal. Here are a few house plants to avoid matching 
with your cat and why! 
 
~Peace Lilies ~Philodendron ~Pothos ~Aloe Plant
 ~Azalea ~Peonies ~Tulips
 
 Some of these plants contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals and
 can cause oral and gastrointestinal irritation, foaming at the mouth,
 and inflammation when ingested. Lilies can cause kidney failure 
in cats when ingested and thus are potentially fatal.
