I really want to turn my home into a beautiful little jungle but as you can see I have these two on my hands. What are some of the safest plants to get for cats and how do I keep them from destroying them? All suggestions will be greatly appreciated 🙏🏽 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/_AFP8iSvOct2fuYb3KAsWF0k7VQIO6WVdcNOc6237ws/myS6683GSoOO2HAUMYJgIg.webp?size=large) ## 28 comments ### Maddie commented on 2024-06-21 Spider Plants are a good option. They are not toxic, they are beautiful and send off gorgeous flowers. They can be kept inside or outside. They are also very easy to take care of. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/p0RkWW379Faoh68ydLsAGcdlgxPYleN0RhzaB8MvE-Y/X9a7-VYFTYu6xfvGrUYeag.webp?size=large) #### Maddie replied on 2024-06-21 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/p0RkWW379Faoh68ydLsAGcdlgxPYleN0RhzaB8MvE-Y/Be2zKoIrRyGvFsKKr93XNQ.webp?size=large) #### Maddie replied on 2024-06-21 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/p0RkWW379Faoh68ydLsAGcdlgxPYleN0RhzaB8MvE-Y/ZdM5JgekQr6SleEmvvTXEg.webp?size=large) #### Christie 🌿 replied on 2024-06-21 Thanks for your suggestion 🙏🏽 #### Maddie replied on 2024-06-21 Of course! 🪴 ### Nick :) commented on 2024-06-21 Try getting some cat grass They love it, hopefully they will love it more then your other plants #### Christie 🌿 replied on 2024-06-21 I’m sure they’ll love it, thanks 🙏🏽 ### Caroline W commented on 2024-06-21 Anything that are peperomia are pet safe and they’re super easy to take care of #### Christie 🌿 replied on 2024-06-21 Thank you 🙏🏽 #### Adrian replied on 2024-06-23 I second that. I have a few peperomia. They come in a lot of varieties and their leaves are succulent in nature, making them very low maintenance. This is my watermelon peperomia ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/CQyscbeN5f0KZltdaSyx3VQZZh8uHYoaKDmCZlFICjE/bVLOmHNTTyW7o9kZS_er0w.webp?size=large) #### Adrian replied on 2024-06-23 And this is my variegated peperomia obtusifolia “sweet and sour” ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/CQyscbeN5f0KZltdaSyx3VQZZh8uHYoaKDmCZlFICjE/R08N2fRTSoC3UAyDNGQksQ.webp?size=large) ### Mullein commented on 2024-06-21 It’s going to be hard to keep them away at that age 😅 Kittens are always so curious and impossibly rambunctious! Pet-safe plants will be a must. But I hesitate to offer advice about keeping them away. I usually say hanging plants for people who have old cats and other pets that don’t climb. But kittens will bounce off the walls to get to a hanging plant 😅 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/-3QkobUWwUK-I90Vq_7yE60PJa8V0mOfE95WC1nEMEo/yAjlYQ45S6W-ZkzCYLuQ9Q.webp?size=large) #### Christie 🌿 replied on 2024-06-21 Oh no! 😂 Thank you for your advice though :) ### Maddie Joy commented on 2024-06-21 i love my polka dot plant and its non toxic! they add a nice pop of color :) also your cats are soooo adorable ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/q2Wmsz1yVELx2EvRhs7ZX28zP2XcS84tRWRNnW8wvvQ/nDLPDdH9RYyiDfVea26VNw.webp?size=large) #### Christie 🌿 replied on 2024-06-22 Thank you! They are truly the sweetest companions ever 🥰 ### ElizabethF commented on 2024-06-21 I would also suggest cast iron plants. They’re super beginner friendly and safe for cats. They also come in a few different varieties. Here is my Milky Way cast iron plant. I also love Hoyas. Most of them are cat safe. I would look up the specific ones before purchasing. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/etxHxw1M7xUJ5n-5CC_0MeGtenzO0o91zHI5oyrI8bE/nu8RrlAkRl-WViuKRbQhkg.webp?size=large) #### Christie 🌿 replied on 2024-06-22 Thank you! These are beautiful 😍 ### Meowmy commented on 2024-06-21 You already know... but cats... they do what they want to do .. 🥹 (I have two that loves chomping on plants) Any calatheas, any echeverias, any hoyas, any peperomias, pachira trees, and table palms are safe for cats and dogs. No lily flowers whatsoever for the cats especially, very very toxic. I found that they are more likely to nibble if the leaves are thinner. Your furbabies are so cute. I can't stop looking at them. 🥹 Let me know if you are curious about anything, my plant hobby literally orbits around cat safety 🥹🥹🥹 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/iIXVLfEfQiKzpNxOjxxezvToCXF5eGk6AD3ET5saE8o/iQDwX5xNQxivB37g2KgwmA.webp?size=large) #### Christie 🌿 replied on 2024-06-22 lol. Thank you so much 😊 Willing to trade off more pics of my babies for more of your expertise on the safest plants for them 🌱 ### NicTheBucket commented on 2024-06-21 I’m a succulent lover, so I always suggest Echeveria and Sedum. They have so many varieties! #### Christie 🌿 replied on 2024-06-22 Looking into these as well! So many great suggestions to start of with, thanks 🙏🏽 ### Rigglett commented on 2024-06-22 I found that anything stringy looking like spider plants or ferns my cats were more interested in and have chewed/knocked over more. My snake plant, rubber tree, Swedish ivy, cactus and orchid they have left alone for the most part! #### GingeredGarden replied on 2024-06-25 Pretty sure snake plants are toxic to cats, just fyi. I know you said your cats are leaving them alone, but I know mine wouldn’t. I want one so bad but I’m afraid to buy one. #### Rigglett replied on 2024-06-26 It can be mildly toxic yes but wouldn’t kill them! If your babies are prone to messing with your plants though you’d have to elevate it or try other ways to deter them! ### Bee commented on 2024-06-22 GAHHH ADORABLE!!!! I suggest high shelves, hanging your plants, or keeping them behind closed doors, I also have two little monsters of almost exactly the same Colors as yours [More comments](https://getplanta.com/community/Ktw8B5CcTlSQqDurUu87ug/RGgg6n_KQc246PKuoYTMmg.md?cursor=6Huo82xt2xdQb3N0cy5HZXRBbGwAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAq3VktOBXgGA) --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
