There are many flowers that cats can tolerate, but also flowers that are toxic to cats and should therefore be avoided. Here we go through both cat-friendly plants and flowers that can be dangerous for your cat.

Cat-friendly plants

There are several cat-safe flowers that are both beautiful and pet-friendly. Calathea is a popular cat-friendly flower with its green leaves in various patterns and colors.
