Are African Violet plants poisonous to cats?

Someone just gave me an African Violet plant and I want to make sure it is not dangerous for cats because I know mine WILL eat it





Thanks!





I know this is pretty specific- but I'm hoping someone happens to know the answer

Are African Violet plants poisonous to cats?
The link below has a list of all plants that are poisonous to your cat. A quick glance does not show the African Violet, but you may want to do a more thorough look-through yourself, both for it and for any other houseplant you may have.





%26lt;edit%26gt; In fact, the African Violet is definitely listed on the second link, non-toxic plants!





Good luck and happy blooming!!
Reply:Here are some sites you can check out. If you can't find the violets- call your vet and double check with them. I'm guessing that they probably are toxic to cats. Hope this helps and have a great day!!!

Please give your kitty a hug from me %26amp; my kitties Figaro %26amp; Rosina.
Reply:No, they aren't.

Ah, person above me had the same idea.
Reply:I heard that they were poisonous. Call your vet and ask them.
Reply:just go to the veterinarian and get antivenom. when you see your cats eyes turn violet give the cat a generous injection (but not to the cats eyes). try the cats bumpis.
Reply:I have several African Violets and first of all, I don't think my cats have ever even paid any attention to them. Second I've never heard anything about them being harmful to animals. I really don't think they would be interested in the fuzzy leaves. I'm sure you're safe.
