Are lavender plants harmful to cats?

Lavander is not listed among plants that are toxic to cats. A lady actually has a "recipe" mix of lavander and chamomille blooms meant to be sprinkled on kitty litters supposedly to make the box more attarctive for the cat.



While the blooms and plant itself may not be toxic to cats, remember that in the essential oil form, any otherwise safe plant could be toxic to the cat.

go to purina.com and they have a list of poisonous plants.
Reply:I don't think so. I have lavendar in my back garden. But my cats probably don't like it much as they don't attempt to nibble it as they do the bordering grass. I think cats are quite good at discriminating harmful from non-harmful plants :)

Its great for wildlife and smells great when in flower. My cats play with the bees that come towards the lavendar when its in flower though...:)



Lavendar is not listed in this list of plants hazardous to pets :)

Reply:I don't think so, but you should still keep the plant away from cats. Do you really want cats eating your plant?
