ZZ Plants and Cats #541890

Asked January 23, 2019, 10:31 PM EST

Hello!

I am wondering if it is safe for me to have a ZZ plant in my home with my 2 cats.
My cats have a tendency to nibble on plants. But they occasionally nibble on my pothos as well and all it doesn't seem to affect them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

According to the Texas Extension and the ASPCA, a ZZ plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia), is toxic to cats and dogs.
