Cats are curious creatures, and they're especially interested in houseplants. They're always eager to try a leaf of greenery, so it's important to have safe plants in your home. In this article, we'll look at five houseplants that won't harm your pets.
Rose
Small potted roses or a rose bush in your yard are beautiful plants that will always delight the eye. As a bonus, they are virtually safe for cats. Just be careful not to let the sharp thorns get into their paws and cause an infection.
Cactus
Despite their menacing appearance, cacti are safe for cats. However, be careful; overly curious animals can injure themselves on the prickly needles.
Violet
Violets are always popular, both in flowerbeds and indoors. Some cats constantly try to taste them. To protect the plant, try placing adhesive tape, sticky side up, on the windowsill where the flowerpot is located. It will stick to the paws, which your cat won't appreciate. You can also buy double-sided tape and cover the surface of the flowerpot with it.
Maranta
Maranta is recommended for planting in rooms with moderate lighting, away from direct sunlight. This heat-loving plant, native to tropical America, is safe for pets. A cat eating a piece won't harm them. To preserve the integrity of your maranta, it's best to keep it out of reach of pets.
Mint
Mint is a fragrant and delicious plant used in a variety of dishes, sauces, desserts, and drinks. You can safely grow it in your home, as it's safe for cats.
Not all plants are poisonous to cats, so you can safely grow them in your home. For your pet's health, grow special cat grass. It contains beneficial minerals and fiber, which helps eliminate hairballs.
