Common questions

Why do people confuse palms with sago palms?

Sago palm is not a true palm at all — it is a cycad and extremely lethal to pets. Majesty, parlor, areca and kentia palms are genuinely safe; sago never is.

Is it safe if my cat drinks water from the plant tray?

Yes. There are no toxins to leach, though the tray water is unhygienic — keep it fresh and prefer the cat’s own bowl.
