Today I would like to write about plants which are dangerous and poisonous for our loving friends cats.
Many of garden plants are perfectly safe for our cats. These include: Bamboo, lavender, rose, violet, snapdragon and sunflower. Also some herbs is cat friendly too and sometimes they even have positive effects on your cats health if eaten : E.g. Dill, basil, rosemary, mint, sage, parsley and tarragon.
But some plants we need to avoid. And they can be harmuf for cats if eaten: Chrysanthemum, ferns, azalea, buttercup, crocus, daffodil, holly, hyacinth, hydrangea, iris, lily of the valey, marigold, oak, peony, rhododendron, wisteria and yew. Lilies and foxgloves are toxic to cats-both can cause kidney damage if they are ingested.
You need to be very careful with garden products as well. Slug pellets that contain metaldehyde can be toxic if eaten by your cat!
So please check your plants, products labels in your garden and make sure that everything its nice and safe for your little loving family members:)
If you want make your little cat happy and crazy at the same time you can plant nepeta(catmint, catnip) in Your garden. This plant contains the essential oil nepetalactone, which has a very strong and powerful euphoric effect on cats:) Cats just love to lie, chew and roll on it!:)
