A few I've had cats nom on without problems, except maybe a little barfing (surprise). They should also be fine for dogs, idk about reptiles. <br /><br />Note that i am not an expert, nor do I play on one tv.

They eat them so enthusiastically she has to rotate them: one out, and the rest growing on in a room her (indoor) boys can't get into.

I've pointed a coworker who has both plants and cats to these posts - we're forever getting curious about which ones are poisonous, and how much, and you resolved a lot of that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-70940219780834617442009-04-24T09:10:00.000-07:002009-04-24T09:10:00.000-07:00I have also had a cat who ate a lot of Chlorophytu...I have also had a cat who ate a lot of Chlorophytums - and my experience is whenever they eat anything green the point is to throw up, so that's really not an indicator of toxicity.

Much of my experience is with wild mushrooms (as a teacher, not consumer) and in no way can anyone depend on a good taste as equating with safety. Many people have died painful deaths after depending on "it tasted ok", or "I saw a rabbit eating it". It makes me pretty dubious of trusting evenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-44728971359103223412009-04-24T05:26:00.000-07:002009-04-24T05:26:00.000-07:00Yet another great post, Mr. S.!
