Pets are like small children and require appropriate supervision.

Even the most common houseplants can pose a serious danger to cats.

Among them are geraniums, violets, lilies, orchids, cacti and many others.

Eating their leaves, flowers and stems can cause severe poisoning, allergies, mouth ulcers, eye inflammation, conjunctivitis and even complete loss of vision.

What can I say: even harmless plants can harm your pets if you treat them with pesticides and other chemicals.

Flowers brought from the store are especially “unpredictable” in this regard – God only knows what they had to go through.

However, all of the above does not mean that you will now have to give up your “green pets”.

To prevent a cat from getting to them, it is enough to place the pots and flowerpots in a place inaccessible to the animal.

Earlier we talked about whether it is possible to feed a cat and a dog the same food.
