Be carefull with cactuses to not put them where a cat might jump above. They know to stay away if they can reach them, but if they want to reach somethihg else and miss a cactus shouldn't be near these places.

I mean catmint is fine, our cat ignores most plants inside. For outside get them plants that offer save place from the sun on cool floors. Helps them great in summer heat.
Obviously no directly poisonous plants.

Yes they're on an unreachable book shelf do it's ok. They're indoor cats so not looking for outdoor plants but thank you!

I love succulents, they’re cute and needs less attention. But I did a poor job of feeding it due to a busy lifestyle🥲 So, now I have cute fake plants that I put on my shelves and hanging on my ceiling as interior decoration/aesthetics… pretentious plant mama in training 😂

I have a couple different ones and shock horror some fake silk type ones, I also have a string of hearts (is that same as turtle?) and couple ferns (not sure on names but was told cat friendly), and a number of Spider plants.

We have a couple fake ones too. The cats still try to eat those 😂

[RebelinSteel]

I lost one over the summer, never noticed a fan was blowing on it, the cats viewed it as a fake plant that wanted to play, silk n cat claws only have one winner 🤣

I had a cactus that my kids started in a dixie cup when they were in elementary school. That cactus grew to almost 6 feet tall/ I built a platform for it out of plywood and put casters on it so I could roll it around.

[Smashingdoozy]

Oof. Mine is only a week baby like a prickly ping pong ball

give it about ten years

[AI Opinion]

House plants can really transform your space and still be safe for your feline friends! 🌿🐱 For plants that do well in hanging pots and are safe for cats, consider adding a Spider Plant. These are non-toxic to cats and thrive in hanging baskets. Another great option is a Staghorn Fern, which looks stunning when mounted on a board or hung up high. If you're looking for something with a bit of trailing character, try the Burro's Tail; it's safe for pets and looks beautiful draped from a high shelf. Pothos plants are also an excellent choice. While they are mildly toxic, many cat owners have found success by placing them out of reach, making sure curious paws can’t get to them.

These options should give you a beautiful and safe indoor garden! 🌱✨

Tradescantia is near bullet proof grows anywhere and looks good trailing from baskets.

Sounds like you've found a new hobby or whatnot, I'd say cactus, its good defense, if you ever gotta push someone against them or just use them as a alternative to a nailed baseball bat.

[Still-alive]

hmm well ferns seem like a popular choice.

[justabuddy]

I steal them from my mom and propagate them. Spider plants and a vine that I grew from a cutting.

[Wiredone]

We don't have any indoor plants because we kill them all the time

[ZS007]

plastic so they won't die 😉

[petitedollbabee]

I’ve always liked succulents. Low maintenance.
