You..Your Cat & Plants

What plants can your cat enjoy nibbling on at any given moment? You can assume that
anything with square stems and opposite leaves is OK. The mint family is a
good example, including most varieties of catnip and Swedish Ivy.

Lovely though they are, some plants can be deadly to your cat. If
you must have any of these plants in your home, keep them safely out of
reach of your Furry Friends!

It is impossible to list every variety of plant here. When in doubt, check
with your veterinarian. The method for treating various poisons differs, again, speak with your Vet for the best emergeny treatments for all poisons.

There is also a Poison Control Center available through the ASPCA.

http://www.napcc.aspca.org/

They offer a Hot Line-not Free sorry!-and plenty of information.

I personally would like to add that frogs are not great for eating.
