10 Dangerous Indoor Plants for Pets

Cats kill billions of songbirds, chipmunks, squirrels, flying squirrels and many other cute little forest friends annually, so who cares if we lose a few cats? Plus, it amuses me no end that we LOVE our little furry feline pals but don't mind feeding them processed food including beef, pork, chicken and fish; as if cows, pigs, chicken and salmon don't deserve to live. "Animal lovers" my eye!

The flowers are in bloom. Watch out for what you cat or dog eats Mnay are very dangerous. Take a look at this article.

You know I uhhh, worship Satin. And Cats, they're real bad creatures man, they're the portal to hell. They walk in both dimensions!!!! And to think, you Asians even eat them as if they're not a direct invitation to the lake of fire.

In the last 400 years, the domestic cat has been the top agent of all recorded extinctions of biodiversity, globally, when Europeans transported the domestic cat globally.

Swedish Wildlife Study: "The domestic cat is the most dangerous predator ever introduced by man."

"The dodo and Solitaire of the Mascarenes, Lord Howe's white gallinule and rails everywhere were wiped out in the next wave of extinction -- caused by predatory mammals introduced by people. Cats and rats were the worst of these." [The domestic cat caused over twice as many extinctions as the second agent, the rat.]

American attorney: "...cat owners who fail to control their felines could be prosecuted under the Endangered Species Act."

"To maintain the integrity of our ecosystems, we have to conserve the animals that play integral roles in those ecosystems. Every time we lose another bird species or suppress their population numbers, we're altering the very ecosystems that we depend upon as humans."

Translated: Free-roaming cats, outdoors, are killing every reason we humans breathe!

Back off. No animal is worthless. Have you ever had cats before to smack that claim? Around my place they do wonders in keeping the local mice and bird population down. And don't say they're diseased ridden, dogs can be too if not taken cared of.

You are narrow minded and selfish and quite frankly clueless on what they can actually do. For those who love cats they are the best companions even if they're not as affectionate as dogs. Independent enough to think for themselves.

If you think cats are useless, why are you even wasting your time commenting here? People came here to read the article to be aware and not read your useless banter.

I absolutely adore my 3 cats, Chloe, Lillie, and Sophie. I am always very careful about plants. Chloe ate a small amount of a cyclamen once and because the Vet was unsure as to whether or not it was poisonous, we had to take her in for a shot. So, even though I love them, no more cyclamen! My babies are so much more important.

Im so sorry for your cat. My cat is 19 and im not sure how much time he has left:(

I would keep the cats out of the flower shop, if possible. A lot of people think animals instinctively avoid things that are poisonous to them, but it's just not true. My sister almost lost her beloved cat after he ate lilies from an arrangement that was sent to her.

Im a Master Gardener in Phoenix, Most of these plants would have to be greatly ingested to be deadly. Silly people!

It's not just your pets. In the Southwest and CA deserts, landscapers love to use oleander to outline property lines, and as decorative plants.

Oleander is a deadly poison. Ingestion of a few leaves will halt one's heartbeat.

Yet, I have seen CHILD CARE facilities use it to line their play yard fences (and my children were NEVER enrolled in those schools---and I told the owners exactly why).
