Listed here are plants poisonous to cats that must be avoided if there are cats in your home (list not all inclusive). 

Lilies are DEADLY to cats !! (i.e., Tiger Lily, Easter Lily, Japanese Show Lily, Oriental Lily, Stargazer Lily, Lily of the Valley, floral lilies). Ingesting any part of the plant causes irreversible kidney failure within 36-72 hours. Please rush your cat to your vet if you even suspect that he ate any part of a lily. When a cat starts showing signs of distress, it is often too late to save him.

While in some cases, just parts of a plant (bark, leaves, seeds, berries, roots, tubers, spouts, green shells) might be poisonous, this list rules out the whole plant. If you must have any of them, keep them safely out of reach.

Eating house plants is a common behavior in cats that do not get vegetable matter in their diet. By providing a small flower pot with grass or catnip, an owner often can eliminate the problem. For the cat that has developed a habit or preference, putting the plant where the cat cannot get to it or using aversive taste-smell conditioning with pepper sauce or vinegar usually works. You can also use a fine mist water sprayer at the cat when caught in the act or other scare tactics like making a loud noise to startle it.

Should your cat eat part of a poisonous plant, rush the cat to your veterinarian as soon as possible. If you can, take the plant with you for ease of identification.
