Plants that are ok for Cats

Below is a list of houseplants that are acceptable for your cat to munch on.  Note that there are conflicting reports about the aloe vera plant - so it is not on this "approved" list

Note that if you want to provide a plant that your cat can eat (so hopefully he will leave your plants alone), you can purchase small containers of oat grass
