There are a plethora of plants that are toxic for cats, and there are a lot of plants that are fine to have around your pets. As winter turns into spring, some of us might want to bring plants inside, or might want to start planting things to grow. I love starting to garden when the seasons change, but I stick to mostly fruits and vegetables. However, I am a fan of the tulip, and unfortunately, tulips are one flower that is toxic to cats.

One of the best places to find a list of toxic and non-toxic plants is by looking at the ASPCA website (linked below). You always want to check before bringing a plant inside or before planting something somewhere that your cats will be. So, bookmark the ASPCA’s website and you can always look up a plant before bring it, or the seeds, home.
