Cat Safe Flowers

When choosing flowers for a home with cats, it’s important to select varieties that are non-toxic to our feline friends. Here are some safe options:

  1. African Violet (Saintpaulia)
  2. Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata)
  3. Bachelor’s Buttons (Centaurea cyanus)
  4. Baby’s Breath (Gypsophila paniculata)
  5. Alyssum (Lobularia maritima)
  6. Orchid (various species)
  7. Snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus)
  8. Zinnia (Zinnia species)
  9. Rose (Rosa species)
  10. Sunflower (Helianthus annuus)
  11. Marigold (Tagetes species)

Though these flowers are considered non-toxic, it’s still a good idea to keep a close eye on your cat and limit their access as much as possible. Ingesting large quantities of any plant material can sometimes cause gastrointestinal upset in pets.

For any concerns about plant toxicity, it’s recommended to consult with your veterinarian or refer to the ASPCA’s list of toxic and non-toxic plants.
