Grape Ivy
Cissus rhombifolia · Vitaceae
How it looks
Grape Ivy is a vining foliage plant whose three-lobed, toothed leaves resemble grape leaves. The leaves are glossy and dark green; length 3-10 ft (1-3 m), grown as a hanging plant or trained up a pole.
Grape Ivy is listed as non-toxic to cats by the ASPCA. An occasional nibble is unlikely to cause any real trouble.
Guide for parents
Even with a safe plant, make a habit of picking up fallen leaves the same day. If your cat likes to dig in or eat potting soil, fertilizer ingredients can upset their stomach — covering the soil with pebbles works well. If it comes home as a cut stem, florists often treat it with preservatives, so place the vase where your cat can't drink the water.
