I would like to grow coriander and parsley (both curly and Italian) inside my home. Are these herbs harmful to cats?
Italian (also called flat-leaf) and curly parsley (Petroselinum crispum) and coriander (Coriandrum sativum) are considered to be non-toxic and edible. However, the plants do contain a variety of compounds that can potentially cause some gastrointestinal irritation, depending on the level of exposure. While we advise discouraging your cats from nibbling on parsley and coriander to avoid the potential for stomach irritation, we would not expect these plants to cause toxicity.
