If you have a cat that likes to nibble on the leaves of your household plants, you may already know too well the dangers of toxic plants! Or maybe you’re not sure if it’s okay, and you don’t see any harm or side effects in your cat from a few chomps here and there. In this article, we’ll discuss which plants are safe to have around your cat.

Keep in mind that eating any plant can still cause some gastrointestinal (GI) upset. In fact, many cats will chew on grass to assist them in vomiting due to nausea.
If you notice your cat chewing on plants or grass out of the blue, and that isn’t something typical for them to do, consider contacting your vet in case there is an underlying GI problem. Having said that, some cats and dogs enjoy a nice healthy side of grass with their daily meals, without pre-existing nausea, and vomiting.
