Because contact with some flowers and plants can cause reactions varying from an itch to death,
it is best to teach your cat not to eat plants and flowers.

Just as we baby proof our home for a new child,
we must also cat proof our home for our four legged children.

**Note this is a partial list of the most common plants and flowers.

Should your cat eat a plant or flower, call your veterinarian immediately.
They can answer any questions and advise in actions needed to counteract poisons.
