Petunias are not poisonous to cats, or anyone else for that matter. Cats don't bother petunias in the yard and can sleep among then in your flower beds with no problems. Petunias come in many kinds and colors, single, double, etc, but none are poisonous to cats and can also be brought into the houser.

The Cat Fanciers' Association, the largest pedigreed cat registry, has a long list of plants or parts of plants that are toxic to cats but petunias are not listed. However, your cat could get an allergic reaction to any plant so if the cat shows symptoms, i. e. vomiting, diarrhea, or depression, be sure to check with a veterinarian immediately.
