Answer from KAte
Hi sadly there are a lot of plants which are harmful to cats. Most of the time cats avoid these and leave them along but perhaps a over curious kitten would try some. English ivy is one of these posonous plants i'm afraid. I have a page about this issue here for further information

I am so sorry for your loss
