I’m in the midst of getting my garden landscaped before moving and a friend recommended a nursery. For the cat-space at the back of the house, I’ve consulted vets, shelter friends and other friends who are more experienced to suggest what I should do.

One of the things suggested was to have flowering plants that would attract insects and butterflies so that the cats would have something interesting to look at.

The nursery suggested Lantana, which is a shrub with beautiful tiny flowers. I love that plant and thought it would be good.

However, I did a google search and this is what I found: http://www.library.illinois.edu/vex/toxic/lantana/lantana.htm

I never knew this beautiful plant is toxic to animals….

I had better check all the other plants the nursery is going to recommend.

If you could suggest some plants that is suitable for landscaping the cat-space, do please leave a comment here.

Thank you!
