She keeps licking dew/water off the leaves. She was doing it last week when she was sick and is doing it again this morning. I just want to make sure the leaves aren't poisonous. I'm not a gardener so haven't go a clue. I have a feeling that when it flowers, the flowers are yellow and don't last long. I have a feeling that when you touch them, they fall off easily.
Thanks

It looks like some weeds I pull out of the garden

Mark if you find out for certain that it's making her sick you need to dig it up and throw it away chuck. Sorry I do not recognise it. Mind you I have lots of things in my garden and I have no idea what they are. :rofl:

I don't think it is that but wondered if anyone else knew better. I think she just licks the leaves to get water off them :evillaugh:

If it is a weed? You may be able to identify it here.... http://www.dgsgardening.btinternet.co.uk/weedlf.htm

I have seen it in our garden I'm sure but can't find out the name :doh: really lovely photo though :Luv2: black cats are sometimes hard to photograph but against green they take well I have one of our Squeaky on the lawn - his best photo.

Thanks - I can't see anything like it on there.
btw - I found out just how unobservant people can be. OH said he was worried about Willow as her eyes were yellow. I asked if it was the whites of her eyes. He said no, the iris - I pointed out that her eyes have always been yellow or copper coloured depending on lthe light. He said he though all cats had green eyes :Crazy: :Crazy: - he has had Willow for about 9 years :Crazy:

It looks like a 'hebe' evergreen type bush Mark with a wax leaf.
Thats all I can tell you I'm afraid.
-
I'm pretty sure I have this weed too (though not as much as you by the look of it!) and I think it is broad-leaf willowherb - which would be appropriate if Willow likes it
-
Willow Herb produces pink flowers, it does look like Willow Herb, but so do lots of other things. As far as I am aware Willow Herb isn't poisonous to cats, but I could be wrong. I frequently am!
-
I remembered the flowers as yellow but now you mention it, they are pink. long, thin petals I imagine as fairy flowers :evillaugh: - they are very delicate and break off really easily so sounds like they are the ones :) - thanks :)

Mark have you tried the RHS forum? http://mygarden.rhs.org.uk/forums/254.aspx
they have an identification of plants thread.

That's the nearest one I could come up with on weed Identification links I looked at but wasn't sure it was that one. Maybe Willow knows ;D

If it's willow herb that's why she is attracted to it :naughty: :rofl: :Luv2:
Here's a list of NON poisonous and willow herb is onthe list so she is ok Mark.

I know what you mean about colour of eyes - when Smudge went missing I knew he had yellow eyes and I was getting calls from people and when I went to see the cats most of them had green eyes - It got to the stage where I could not believe anything anyone said and I went out to look at every cat that I got a call about.

if it is willowherb, I hope you like it, Mark - because it is going to be with you for always :evillaugh:
