Keeping Cats Safe Around Plants

Chewing on plants is an instinctive, normal behavior for cats. But if your cat is chewing on plants that you’d rather them not chew on, get them their own cat-safe or fake plants to chew on and reward them when you see them chewing on their own plants. Do your research and remove plants that are not cat-safe. 

Here are some tips to keep your cats safe and satisfied around plants.

About Best Friends Animal Society

Best Friends is working to end the killing of dogs and cats in U.S. shelters in part by getting more pets out of shelters and into loving homes.

We’ve come a long way since the first known city reached no-kill in 1994, and now we’re closer than ever to making the entire country no-kill. Today, roughly 2,500 shelters are no-kill throughout the U.S. — and 700 more are just 100 pets or fewer away from reaching that milestone.

Best Friends is committed to working with passionate people like you to save homeless pets through adoption, volunteering, fostering, and advocacy. In addition to our lifesaving centers around the U.S, we also founded and run the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals.

Working together, we can save homeless pets in our communities and secure a better future for our best friends. Together, we will bring the whole country to no-kill.
