Your house is your sanctuary of tranquility and comfort, coupled with practicality for ensuring harmonious living. Home décor adds oodles of depth and variety to your home, and decoration with accessories, collectibles, and fancy items cannot be ignored. On the lines of decoration, plants and flowers offer the beauty and zest to the living space.

However, if you have a cat as your pet at home, you may need to think twice before placing your favorite plants at home. While several plants and flowers radiate positivity and promote well-being at home, they can be extremely toxic for cats. Cats have the habit of chewing and nibbling on things that look colorful. They can bite against plants and flowers out of boredom or due to an underlying health condition. However, biting some plants can prove fatal for cats.

These flowers are very sweet-smelling, and invite cats to enjoy chewing on them to take in the juicy contents. However, their bulbs contain heavy doses of alkaloids that can cause serious health problems in cats and lead to severe heart and digestive issues.
