House plants

Well my last cactus just exploded

Anyone have any suggestions for houseplants that are easy to look after and are safe if my devil cats decide to have a munch!

Any suggestions?

Spider plants and verbena. Neither are toxic and easy to look after.

Good job spider plants aren't toxic to cats as mine are constantly eating them

This is why I've avoided houseplants, as they all like a nibble.

But I'd like some plants to freshen the place up!

I have a very old peace lily which has survived several cats and vice versa.

That's my only plant that's still living. My mum bought it for me from a pound shop about 7 years ago. It lives on the bookcase, to stop my Bengal knocking it off all the time.

I could kill a fake/plastic plant so I make do with a couple of bars of fresh flowers . One I keep outside in my verandah and one I have in my shower room as helps circulate the air and rid steam (I was told by a florist once no idea if it�s true but they smells fresh)
