Are peony leaves bad for cats?

We have peonies planted outside our house my cat keeps trying to eat the leaves. Is it will it make him sick or can I just let him eat them?

Plants Poisonous to Cats


this web sight says peony is poisonous to cats..
Reply:it depends if the cat is allergic to it or not. if not, then peony leaves are good for it. if it is allergic to peonies, then they are horrible for your cat.
Reply:I'd watch the behavior of your cat if he/she does ingest peony leaves. They aren't supposed to be good for cats. Grasses are eaten sometimes to purposefully make the cat sick so they can throw up -_-;;
Reply:let him eat.

  1. Before I purchase a plant I always check on its potency risk for animals. I wanted to purchase one myself but thought twice after reading that they can be poisonous. I'd rather be safe than sorry!
    I would try and keep your cat away from it, especially since it's on the no-no list =)

  2. I just checked several websites.
    What I read is that YES peonies are highly toxic to cats . I would not trust any statement about allergies. because this plant can be a killer to cats, dogs and horses.

    Can't yet find what they recommend giving the cat if you can't get them to a vet right away.
