Veterinarian and cat enthusiast. This blog, therefore, focuses on cat behaviour, cat medicine and my two boys Bo and Mycroft. Side blog to bibliophilecats.

The ASPCA has a wonderfully large list of plants and their toxicity status (toxic, non-toxic, potentially toxic), and you can even filter it by "toxic/non-toxic to just dogs/cats/horses," which is helpful.

This next site includes listings for guinea pigs, rabbits, and iguanas:

Too many people lose their beloved babies because they had absolutely no idea that the lilies they bought for the kitchen table are fatal for cats, even if they just lick a bit of pollen off their fur. This needs to be warned for.
