I'm not entirely sure what you mean about your "cat's bathroom," but if it is what it sounds like, be careful about what plants you put in there. Cats are notorious for chewing on plants (mine sure does), and many, many plants are toxic to cats and dogs. You can find lists of toxic plants online.
You could always plant cat grass or catnip in there. Catnip's a pretty plant, and a lot of cats love it fresh rather than dried. I don't know about the sun requirements, though. You might have to check on that one.
You might already know all this, but I wanted to give you a heads-up just in case.
Thanks for the tips, YesitsReal!
Yeah, it is what it sounds like. I still haven't found a plant to put in there yet, but I'll be sure to make sure that it isn't toxic for them.
I have catnip growing outside and they barely notice it. It seems to me that the odor isn't apparent unless it's picked.
Quote:Okay this is too funny! I was on a plant board when a women posted a pic of a plant that here grandson had left at her house when he was livinge before going to college. She wanted to know how to care for it for him...ummmm...we told her to get rid of it as it was pot! Poor thing! We told her to put it in a bag and throw it in the dumpster....the damn thing was three feet tall!
OMG, that story is soooo funny, Lisa!
I found this little tidbit today in Body&Soul magazine. A 2008 study shows that hospital patients with plants in their rooms had less anxiety and lower blood pressure than patients with no greenery.
I'm certain that those facts would be true about greenery in the home too. Having plants around just make for a more cheery environment.
