What plants should not grow in houses where cats live: dangerous to life and health

Cat lovers should be aware of which plants can be harmful to the health and perhaps even endanger the lives of their pets.

As you know, cats are not averse to chewing greenery. They need it to cleanse their stomachs of accumulated hair. But if they eat the wrong flower, the animal can say goodbye to life.

Here are the plants that need to be hidden from your furry four-legged friend.

Causes discomfort

Everything will be fine with minor ailments if the pet eats aloe and chlorophytum greens. Less often, cats encroach on zamioculcas, ficus and Decembrist. Hyacinths and irises, calla lilies, daffodils and tulips should be put away.

It usually ends with an upset stomach.

Poisonous

This is where things get more serious. It is enough for the cat to start licking or biting the leaves of dieffenbachia, azalea, philodendron or anthurium. Geranium is dangerous, but its smell repels the animal. You should also remove oleander and amaryllis.

Important! Toxic substances accumulate in the body. This does not mean that after eating a leaf, the cat will immediately fall into a coma. Many plants act slowly but destructively. Violets are distinguished by such insidiousness.

If you can’t remove the flowers, you need to plant grass in a separate box for your pet, where he can always get without permission, or buy vitamins.
