Research and data on poisonous plants evolves constantly, please do your own research before purchasing a plant. If your cat starts showing a loss of appetite, mouth irritation, vomiting, lethargy, difficulty breathing, these are all signs of plant poisoning. Pets exhibiting severe symptoms of any kind should be taken immediately to an emergency vet clinic or animal hospital. If your pet is experiencing mild symptoms, supervise them for at least the next 24 hours. Call your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (888-426-4435) if their symptoms don’t clear up within a short time.
