Hi all:
I recently acquired two beautiful cats and am wondering whether or nor I should bring in my specimen of Muehlenbeckia complexa (aka Maidenhair vine or creeping wire vine) which has been spending the summer outside on the porch. I can find absolutely no information about its toxicity online or in books.

The plant is much too large and heavy for me to hang it (it is currently in a 14" pot). It is gorgeous, easy care and I do not want to lose it. But I don't want it to make my cats sick, either.

I know cats naturally tend to avoid certain plants for nibbling. Does anyone have experience with Muehlenbeckia?

Thanks,
Ispahan
