Don't Feed Me to Your Cat!: A Guide to Poisonous Houseplants

By Judy Feldstein

They can be eye-catching, breathtaking, or even useful-a simple and beautiful way to bring a bit of nature indoors. Houseplants are a staple of interior decorating and for good reason. But did you know many of these common indoor plants may pose hidden dangers to children or pets, from vomiting and diarrhea, to convulsions or even death? In Don't Feed Me to Your Cat! plant care professional Judy Feldstein shares information about twenty-five common houseplants, each with various levels of toxicity, and the possible consequences of their ingestion. In this comprehensive and clearly illustrated guide, you'll find out why kissing under the mistletoe is fine, but snacking on it isn't-and how plant placement can be just as important as baby gates and hiding household chemicals when babyproofing your house. So before tempting your cat with a tantalizing California ivy or placing a heart leaf philodendron within baby's reach, be sure to consult this helpful book for advice. With detailed descriptions, valuable care tips, and a thorough plant glossary, Don't Feed Me to Your Cat! is a must-read for parents, pet lovers, and plant hobbyists everywhere.
