There are plenty of plants and shrubbery that cats like the American Bobtail find appealing. However, there are numerous plants that your cat should avoid. Some plants can cause your cat serious health problems. If you’re not sure if a plant in your home is safe for your American Bobtail, just ask your vet. Several household and outside plants are non-toxic, but just as many can be toxic. For instance, the arum lily is a dangerous plant for cats to be around. If your cat ingests this plant, she could develop oral irritation, intense burning and irritation of the mouth (includes tongue and lips), excessive drooling, vomiting, and difficulty swallowing. If your cat has any of these symptoms, call your vet. Make sure you remove the lily and clean up any leaves that have fallen to ensure your cat does not eat them.
