The name&nbsp; &#8220;prayer plant&#8221; came about due to its ability to open up wide when the sun shines on its leaves. During sundown, however, the leaves close up or fold (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nyctinasty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">nyctinasty<\/a> phenomenon).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Arrowroot\/Marantaceae family, Calathea constitutes the genus of about 300 plant species growing in tropical America. Often, the leaves of a Calathea are colorful and big. Additionally, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IllzZhwYacw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">they<\/a> comprise colors like white, red, orange, and pink, with a purple underside.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"252623\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #252623;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"999\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/1-6-jpg.webp\" alt=\"botanical Calathea plant with green and pink leaves\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/1-6-jpg.webp 999w, https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/1-6-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/1-6-768x513.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">(botanical Calathea plant with green and pink leaves)<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-calathea-poisonous-to-cats\">Is Calathea Poisonous To Cats?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Short answer, NO.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/American_Society_for_the_Prevention_of_Cruelty_to_Animals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">ASPCA<\/a> (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals)&nbsp;says that all kinds of Calathea are not harmful to cats. So, your cat and Calathea plant can harmoniously exist in your house. If anything, be keen on your cat and keep it away if it starts biting or nibbling the plant&#8217;s leave.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"d18b90\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #d18b90;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2-7-jpg.webp\" alt=\"owner stopping a kitten from biting a houseplant\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2-7-jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2-7-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2-7-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">(owner stopping a kitten from biting a houseplant)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calathea&#8217;s safety is due to its lack of chemicals, like insoluble <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Calcium_oxalate#Medical_significance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">calcium oxalate<\/a>, that can potentially lead to organ failure. Hence, a cat eating or rubbing against the plant causes no harm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, a cat can get sick from petroleum-based cleaners, topical pesticides, or systemic pesticides used to maintain Calathea.

Instead of catnip, keep thyme, cat grass (a mixture of barley grass and oats), or a pot of mint.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"697068\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #697068;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/4-7-jpg.webp\" alt=\"cat chewing on fresh catmint\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/4-7-jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/4-7-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/4-7-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">(cat chewing on fresh catmint)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cats, like plants mentioned earlier, can safely chew on them occasionally. Then, for other &#8216;genuine&#8217; plant tips, ensure your cat pays more attention to the fake plant.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"position-the-plant-strategically\">Position the plant strategically<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Moving the plant is a good idea, but it cannot be easy if the cats are determined and swift. Therefore, it could be useful to utilize containers that directly mount to walls or hang the basket slightly away from the furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"d4dcde\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #d4dcde;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"751\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/5-5-jpg.webp\" alt=\"houseplant in a hanging pot\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/5-5-jpg.webp 751w, https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/5-5-225x300.webp 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 751px) 100vw, 751px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">(houseplant in a hanging pot)<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"using-a-spray-bottle\">Using a spray bottle<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>You can use the traditional cat training method of spraying your cat whenever it closely approaches the&nbsp;houseplant. Despite being easy, it&#8217;s most effective when you&#8217;re constantly at home watching the plants since some cats can be sneaky in your absence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"repellent-spray\">Repellent Spray<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Fourthly, DIY or buy strong-scented&nbsp;products that cause&nbsp;your cat to&nbsp;sneeze if it gets too close to the Calathea. For instance, a puree of garlic in water or a mixture of a strongly scented soap (citrus) and water should do the trick.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember to be careful with the products because, in excess, they may irritate your cat&#8217;s eyes or nose.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"heavy-pebbles\">Heavy Pebbles<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>As diggers, we know that cats may dig for toilets in your Calathea&#8217;s loose soil.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, you can cover the plant pot with heavy stones and use items like seashells or&nbsp;broken ceramics to decorate. If not overly compacted, it should allow water to reach the soil underneath. In the long run, the pot won&#8217;t be as inviting as a litter box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"987965\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #987965;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/6-3-jpg.webp\" alt=\"clay pebbles in a pot\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/6-3-jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/6-3-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/lovecatguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/6-3-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">(clay pebbles in a pot)<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>If you still want a Calathea, here is your chance.
