20 Non Toxic Houseplants For Cats

I don’t know about you but ever since Quarantine began, my house has doubled in greenery. I’ve regrown celery, chive, bought new succulents, planted mint, the list goes on. Since we have a kitty in the house, we have to make sure any addition is non toxic.

Also, I’d love to note that there are actual greens you can grow FOR your cat! There are so many benefits to cats eating grass, especially if it is an indoor cat. Cat grass has fiber which can aid in overall digestion as well as hairballs! Cat grass contains niacin and B vitamins which are great dietary supplements – and let’s not forget it’s non-toxic! My kitty absolutely LOVES this indoor grass I buy from Amazon (wicked easy to grow and this one is the only one I’ve tried that you wont see any trace of mold).
