Your cat is a big part of your life so you want to make sure she feels welcome in your home. You understand that for this to happen, your pet will need to be safe in this space. Can houseplants impact this?

There are a lot of houseplants that will be fine around your cat but there are also others that could be a safety issue. Many plants are toxic and could negatively impact your cat’s life if she investigates them too closely. Some common offenders include tulips, lilies, and chrysanthemums. There is also the chance that your pet will take an interest in a plant and get a bit too friendly with it. This means that she may knock it over or pull it off the surface it is resting on, which could pose another risk to her safety. For more information, please contact your local Tampa, FL veterinarian.
