So my jasmin says its toxic to cats but its on the safe list... would this be the same thing? Its not listed on the flchams safe list...
 
My cat eats my dracaena plant and my pothos all the time. I'm surprised he isn't dead yet. He also likes peace lilies which are also poisonous to cats. He just barfs a little and he's fine :confused:
 
If it was me i would go to a greenhouse and get plants you know are safe like pothos, Ficus benjamin, Im using the Draceana or corn plant and a Schefflera Arborcola in my cage
