Garden Plants Toxic to Cats

Azaleas are a member of the Rhododendron family, and all plants in this family are moderately toxic to cats, including all parts of the plants. According to The Purdue College of Veterinary Medicine is that "Pets may nibble or taste the leaves out of curiosity or boredom, and this is not advised, but seldom leads to clinical toxicosis."

The ASPCA Poison Center is more guarded: Clinical Signs: include "vomiting, diarrhea, hypersalivation, weakness, coma, hypotension, CNS depression, cardiovascular collapse and death."
