Plants okay for cats

Below is a list of common houseplants that are acceptable for your cat to munch on. Note that there are conflicting reports about the aloe vera plant - because I received an email about a cat that died after ingesting it, I am not putting it on this "approved" list.
Note that if you want to provide a plant that your cat can eat (so hopefully he will leave your plants alone), you can purchase small containers of oat grass.
- African violet (Saintpaulia)
- Aluminum plant
- Any of the true ferns (Boston fern, maidenhair, etc.)
