Cat Friendly Plants
Does anyone know of any really cat friendly plants please? I would
love to plant something that I know will be entirely cat friendly in the new cats run. I know that we all live in different countries, but some of us must live in similar climates, so if you can think of any that are similar to the UK, I would appreciate that very much indeed. In the older runs, I went with the safe option of grass, just so that they could nibble on it every now & again to help with the odd particularly nuisance hairballs because I simply wasn't sure, & didn't want to take any chances. For decorative purposes I stuck to hanging baskets outside the runs, just to make them look a touch less drab. However, this time the run is going to last for the foreseeable future, & will be big enough to accommodate all of us in there with them as well, including all smaller tress's, bushes, & flowers as well as foliage that we could / would be consider, so that over time, it will become a really nice place, that makes you want to go out & share that space with them. I seem to remember a debate on here recently, all about cat nip, stating that one cat nip is far better than the common old garden cat nip. If you can remember which plant that was, I'd love to know of that one too please? I have a feeling it had something to do with either Valerian or bergamot if I remember correctly? TIA to anyone who might be able to help out with this one Sheelagh "o" |

I have just paid for some turf to be delivered, but there is a space of 6' x 4' that was waiting for something appropriate to fill it with. If any other plants come to mind, please give me another shout. Many thanks, Sheelagh "o" |

This is incredibly helpful & I now know that Lillie's are not a very good idea @ all. These bits of information are essential before laying your garden out & allowing your cat near it. I'm ever go grateful, Sheelagh "o" |
