Many people assume that since palm trees are often found in warm, tropical climates, they must be safe for cats. However, the truth is that palm trees are actually quite poisonous to cats. The sap of the tree is the most dangerous part, as it contains toxins that can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and even liver damage in cats. If you have a palm tree in your home, be sure to keep your cat away from it.<\/p>\n

If you are considering getting a palm as a pet, be aware that some palms are not considered to be safe for pets. The parlor palm, however, is considered to be non-toxic and is a good choice for a pet-safe plant. Tall and elegant, the parlor palm thrives in indirect light and can tolerate shadier spots as well. They typically reach about four feet in height, but with care, they can reach up to eight feet tall.<\/p>\n
