Hey all,
My three cats are able to go outside, also out of the garden. I know that the neighbor could have toxic plants just as well, but in any case I want to have my own garden as safe as possible for my cats.
I have a sort of pergola in my garden, which was first covered by a grape. I removed it since it is toxic to cats and I don't eat all those grapes anyway .
It is now quite bare, and I'm looking for a good alternative. A plant that matches a bit (so a vine plant or espalier), and preferably a plant that can withstand frost during the winter. But most importantly, one that is not toxic to cats.
I know there is only a little chance that they will eat from the plant, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
Does anyone have any ideas? I've done a lot of googling but I can't find anything yet. Also, considering the fact that I do not have lots of knowledge of plants, and perhaps I demand too much ( withstand frost, suitable for pergolas, and not toxic to cats)..that might make it a little bit more complicated..
I hope anyone over here has some ideas?
