Nemesia
Nemesia strumosa · Scrophulariaceae
Nemesia has no reported toxicity to cats. It's a decorative bedding and container flower that's safe to have around your cat.
Guide for parents
Nemesia can cause digestive irritation if eaten, so it needs care.
If you grow it in a flowerbed or pot, limit your cat's access so it doesn't chew the flowers or leaves. Consult your vet if vomiting or reduced appetite appears. Growing it on a balcony or in an outdoor garden is safer than keeping it indoors.
