It always seems like a good idea to fill your house with vibrant greens and flowers … until you remember that you have a very curious cat that is running amok. Your furry family member has the option to poke their head into everyone’s business. Hence, it is important to buy plants that are completely safe for cats (although they are never recommended), especially if your cat has been shown to nibble on everything. Fortunately, there are tons of cat-friendly, non-toxic houseplants out there, which means if they decide to add one of their leaves to their midday snack, you don’t have to worry.
Shop right from this list to find hassle-free houseplants that are not rated safe for your cats by the ASPCA, but also beautiful, air-purifying accents that will liven up your bathroom, office, living room, or any other room in your home. A bonus: some of these houseplants are also non-toxic to dogs, so you can rest assured that you are doing everything possible to keep your entire fur family happy and healthy.
