Pet lovers will appreciate that the Christmas cactus is non-toxic to cats or dogs. That's right; your furry friends will be just fine unless they chow down a huge chunk of the plant. Then you can expect some vomiting and diarrhea.
The cactus isn't poisonous to humans, either, so it gets top marks for safety among holiday-themed plants. It can cause allergies and skin reactions, though, so handle it with care.
