  • Definitely not poisonous to cats. If your cat is eating plants, the majority don’t, they aren’t getting enough fiber in what you feed them. Get some winter rye grass and leave it by their food.

  • Yes spider plants are not poisonous to cats. They are equivalent to cat nip. Love my spiders. Actually to keep my cats away from my other plants they have a spider that is just for them to nibble on. It’s worked for me for over 10yrs.
