Worried your cat has eaten something? Ring your vet, or Animal PoisonLine on 01202 509000 (24 hours, there’s a fee). For lilies, go to the vet straight away, even if she seems fine.

What the answers mean

Safe

Not toxic to cats. A big munch can still upset her tummy, like grass does.

Cats love it

Safe, and a favourite: catnip, catmint, cat grass, valerian, silver vine, cat thyme.

Tummy trouble

Chewing it is likely to mean sickness or an upset tummy. We say which bit is worst, like the bulbs.

Keep away

It can make cats seriously ill. If she’s eaten any, ring your vet straight away.

Absolutely not

True lilies and daylilies. Every bit can cause fatal kidney failure, even pollen groomed off her fur or water from the vase.

Where the answers come from

Cats Protection, PDSA, International Cat Care and the ASPCA. Where they disagree, we go with the careful one and say so. Plants on none of the lists get “Not sure”: that doesn’t mean safe, so ask your vet. We’re not vets.

Stickers

Each safe plant you check earns a sticker for your cat-safe garden. They’re saved on your phone only; deleting the app removes them.

Something wrong or missing?

If a plant is missing, an answer looks wrong, or something isn’t working, email hello@catfibs.com. Please say which plant, and which phone you’re using.
