Bringing home a Bengal cat or a Bengal kitten does not only mean pleasure and excitement. It also means that you are ready to handle the responsibility of taking care of your cat holistically. When I say taking care of your Bengal cat, this will not only mean giving her a home, food, a place for recreation, or medical care. You also need to give her a home that is safe for cats to live in, and that would mean removing things that might injure her, or harm her health.
Some of the things that may harm your Bengal kitten are small objects that might cause choking, and plants that can be poisonous to her body.
For the purpose of this article, let us focus on the different plants that might be poisonous to your Bengal cat, so you might want to remove it, in case you have it in your home.
