Hi everyone! I need help with identifying my bonsai tree. When my mom died I got this bonsai tree from her and I don’t know what kind of bonsai tree it is. The tree is about 1 meter tall
Can someone help me please?

Best regards
Trunks

This is a ficus. Might be ficus retusa.

nice sized tree!

Thank you for quick answer!
I will send another picture.

Btw are you really sure it’s an ficus? I’m thinking to getting a cat and from my research ficus is poison for cats

I concur Ficus. Then don't let the cat eat it.

Ok thank you very much for your answers, I really appreciate it.

Have a nice day!

It's poisonous for cats, so I suggest you don't mix the sap through your cats food.

Actually, most indoor plants with foliage are more or less poisonous. Still, while I know lots of people with cats and houseplants, I do not see cats dying from these houseplants.

Cats know what not to eat. They may bite a leaf, they won't like it, may barf, but they won't die from it.

(this is not an advice... please do your research to confirm - or deny - the above).

Thank you for your comment. I will do some more research and rethinking

we have figs. Actually, we have a whole range of plants. And we do a lot of cat-sitting. The cats only jump at elephants'foot. The rest they leave alone. And yes. Every once in a while the cats eat too much of the plant and throw up. Then leave the plant alone for a long time.

I've got 5 cats and many indoor plants, including a ficus.
They are well and all alive, and agreeing with leatherback they taste the new ones, throw up and leave them alone.

For a moment I was already thinking of getting 50 ficuses around my house to steer away stray cats, but with all these comments of harmonious coexistence of ficus and cat, I will stick with other anti-cat measures. (Disclaimer: I have nothing against cats, as long as they don't poop in my back yard)
