Why Do Cats Eat Grass?

7. Can Cats Eat Other Plants?

Unfortunately, other plants are not always as safe as grass. Many, including common houseplants, are toxic. That won't necessarily stop cats from chewing on them, especially if the activity is a reaction to boredom or anxiety. Several common species of lily and palm, along with common flowers such as daffodils and daisies, are toxic to cats. Even plants that are normally beneficial to humans, such as aloe vera, can be dangerous. Consult a veterinarian or an animal poison control center to ensure your houseplants are safe.
