ASPCA in Washington D.C. has a poison control operator for animals. You might call them to see if they have a book you can buy.

all i can tell you is not to worry about Poinsettias. they’d have to eat about a million of those before they kick the bucket.

Thank you for being concerned. While maybe SOME plants are not as bad as others, needing large quantities to be a real problem, why take a chance?

Yes, you can find complete lists on the internet sites for the ASPCA etc…

But even “safe” plants are something a cat might just, well, vomit anyway so we don’t have any plants in the house. They only nibble a little grass when I take them in the back yard for a walk on their harness. We don’t use any pesticides so it’s OK.
