houseplants and cats


Question
I'm looking for a plant about 3-4' tall to put in my bathroom, to sit on top of a soaking tub platform that is about 2' off the ground.  The space to fill is about 3x3.  There is low to medium light (on a sunny day) and the windows face east, but the plant would be in the corner and have NO direct sun.

I have 2 cats who get into everything so the plant I put there has to be cat-friendly.  Do you have any suggestions what would fare well?  I've looked online but it's nearly impossible to cross-reference low-light house plants with cat-friendly plants.

If you know of several kinds of plants I'd really appreciate any advice.

Thanks.
Adrienne  

Answer
Adrienne,

Any of the variieties of dracaena would work well and are not poisonous. A large sansevieria or a schefflera would also work. If you have questions after you get the plant feel free to write again.

The following site has a list of plants poisonous to cats.

Good luck.
