Happy Healthy Pets and Houseplants Too!

Houseplant Eater! Meow!
Being an animal lover as well as a plant lover, as many people are, I thought it would be helpful to add this link for those with pets. The ASPCA list of toxic and non-toxic plants...I also put a link to the list on the homepage of my website Plant And Flower Info.com for future reference, if needed.
A few emails have come to me with questions about pets and pets that eat houseplants. I have had many animals and plants, all in the same house, for many years and have not had too many problems.
The houseplants usually seem to be the worse off if any close encounters do happen. They often end up on the floor with broken leaves and dirt everywhere! The cat somewhere nearby, licking his paw and giving me that, 'You need to tell your plants to quit jumping off the windowsill' look!
 I always make my best effort to keep houseplants out of the reach of pets. That can be difficult, especially with cats, as they seem to be able to get just about anywhere they darn well please! Of course, dogs can be quite resourceful too, if they really want to get to that plate of brownies you left on the counter...ummm, yes you, Gracie May, bad dog! Have a great day, enjoy your houseplants and your pets!
