Reply:Poinsettias are highly poisonous. I've also heard that any plant from the philodendron is poisonous to cats.





I'm not sure about cactus, but as long as no thorns are involved, I don't think so. The desert animals can "snack" on cacti.

Reply:Many common houseplants are poisonous, including poinsettias. Invest in a plant book- about $7.95- or look it up on the net. Good luck with your kitty and your new home.
Reply:The only plant I can think of and is very deadly to cats is Easter Lilies
