How poisonous are rubber plants to cats?

I see them on the list of plants that are toxic to animals. But how toxic are they? We just got one, and it sits on the floor. Our cat doesn't really bother plants, but we want to make sure that if she did bother the rubber plant, that it wouldn't harm her. Does anyone know HOW toxic they are? Is it very serious?

I am not sure HOW toxic they are but they are on the toxic list and therefore should be avoided. The best person to ask about the level of danger would be your vet. Answers are always free when you have a good Vet so I would call tomorrow and ask. Good luck to you and your cats.

Reply:some common houseplants are extremely poisonous to any house-pet, cat and dog alike. A plant sold commonly in the winter, poinsettias, can make your cat very very sick. Rubber plants/other indoor plants are, as a general rule, very bad for your pet so it's recommended to not keep those in rooms where your cat might wander. You never know when they might decide it looks good to snack on
