Plants Toxic to Cats


It is well known that cats like to eat grass, because it helps to get rid of hair they collected in the stomach, but also to come up with some vitamins. In the absence of grass, cats often know to serve with pot plants and flowers, which can be very much a big problem because they are not able to distinguish between plants that are "edible" and that harmful or toxic. There is a long list of poisonous plants, as room, as those that grow there. Some of them act only irritating, causing increased salivation or vomiting and diarrhea, while others are very toxic.
