Plants that are Okay for Cats
Below is a list of common houseplants that are acceptable for your cat to munch on.  Note that there are conflicting reports about the aloe vera plant - because I received an email about a cat that died after ingesting it, I am not putting it on this "approved" list.

Note that if you want to provide a plant that your cat can eat (so hopefully he will leave your plants alone), you can purchase small containers of oat grass.
