What Kind of Flowers to Get If You Have a Cat (And What to Avoid!) If you're a cat owner, you already know that felines love to get into everything—including your beautiful floral arrangements! At Hosanna Floral, we’ve had many customers in Montrose, Ridgway, Ouray, Telluride, Gunnison, and Crested Butte ask, "Which flowers are safe for my cat?" and "Are there flowers I should avoid?" The truth is, while flowers bring beauty and warmth into your home, some can be dangerous for pets. Since cats are naturally curious and love to chew on leaves and petals, it’s important to know which flowers are safe and which can pose a health risk. If you’re a cat lover looking for a pet-safe bouquet, this guide will help you choose the best flowers for your home while keeping your furry friend safe!
