| 757.1 | More info on poisionous plants? | VIDEO::USHER | | Wed Sep 23 1987 15:42 | 6 |
| Is there a book (or something) that lists what is and isn't
poisionious? I would love to have plants but Smurf loves to eat
all plants and I have yet to find a plant book that list what is
and isn't poisionous.

| I also have a small booklet put out by the Mass Horticultural
Society that lists poisonous plants. If you'd like to borrow it,
send me your address and I'll send it off to you.
Some of my boy's favorite greens are spider plants, my formerly
nice palm tree, and ferns. They don't touch the many Christmas
cactus (except to swat occasionally).

| 757.4 | Are these toxic? | WITNES::MACONE | Has anyone seen my Pocket Protector? | Tue Sep 06 1988 16:48 | 21 |
| Elmo is a plant eater. Neither Portia or Oscar ever were, so I
never bothered to find out whether my plants were poisonous to cats.
Can somebody check on the following for me?
Tri-color Dracaena
African Violet
Aloe
Christmas Cactus
I'm most owrried about the Dracaena. Elmo really loves it. it's
pretty big now, and just strarting a second stem. However, he has
vomitted afew times so far, whereupon I have noticed leave remnants.
If the dracaena is harmful to him, I guess I should do something
about it.

| 757.5 | They're OK for munching | CLUSTA::TAMIR | ACMS design while-u-wait | Tue Sep 06 1988 17:48 | 13 |
| Honey was never harmed by my tri-coloured Dracaena but I wish I
could say the same for the plant. He also consumed numerous african
violet flowers (the plants got 'furred' to death) and considers
the flowers on the Christmas cactus great toys. As for the best
eats, he would recommend spider plants and, best of all, rabbit's
foot ferns. Saves me hours of pruning...
Honey has outgrown most of his plant eating, but I still can't bring
a spider plant into the house, and the fern is surviving somehow.
He always tosses what he eats of the plants, which I find less than
charming. Sigh....

| Holly and Sweetie both nibble a bit from my (humongeous) Boston fern
when they want to throw up. You know, like cats do with grass outside.
So, this is maybe what Elmo is doing.

| 757.7 | 4 silk plants for $104!! | MYVAX::LUBY | DTN 287-3204 | Fri Sep 09 1988 16:04 | 11 |

Well, I have the best solution to plants!! I just spent
$100 on silk plants. They are very lifelike, only someone
who looks really closely can tell that they're fake.
I can definately recommend silk plants to those people
who have cats that eat plants, and to those people who
never water their plants (me) and they die.

| 757.8 | Not always the solution | VAXWRK::LEVINE | | Fri Sep 09 1988 16:42 | 8 |
| Karen,
I hope you have better luck with silk plants than I have had. I had bought
some silk flowers many years ago in my pre-cat days. When I got the cats,
they immediately made for the silk flowers. Now my silk flowers are
safely hidden away.

Re: .8
Well, two of them are hanging, the other two are on tables
and apart from a few sniffs, they haven't shown any interest!
I was worried but now I'm not.

| 757.10 | Easter Lily toxic to cats | WR2FOR::CORDESBRO_JO | set home/cat_max=infinity | Fri Mar 22 1991 14:58 | 6 |
| I just heard on the news that a vet in California is warning cat owners
that Easter Lilies are toxic to cats. The cat goes into kidney failure
within one day of eating the leaves, and within 5 days they die. Just
thought I would pass this along since this is Easter Lily time.

Thanks for the warning about the easter lily being toxic to cats. I
stood in Cost Plus for 15 minutes this week trying to pick one out.
I couldn't find one I liked so I gave up. As usual, there is a reason
for everything! :')

| re: .13
Not that I can tell. From the description in the catalog, mail order,
it said it had flowers (white I think). It looked real pretty, but I
wanted to be sure it won't hurt my cat.
