Beware: Cats And Toxic Plants!
Plants are a necessary element for any type of decoration. They improve the environment and are very beautiful. However, if we have a feline at home, some of their parts, such as bark, leaves, seeds, fruits, roots or tubers can be deadly to our little friend.
Lilies, for example, are dangerous to cats.
That’s why in this article we’re going to talk about cats and toxic plants.
Measures to prevent poisoning
Cats chew plants because they like to touch and explore them. It’s hard to keep them out of your reach. So if you plan to plant plants in your home or allow your cat to enter your garden, you need to know exactly which species he will be exposed to.
Some plants or parts of them may contain high concentrations of substances that are toxic to cats. Many of them cause inflammation of the skin, mouth and stomach and can also affect a particular organ, such as the kidney or heart.
Plants such as daffodil, tulip and linden are capable of causing allergic dermatitis. Digestive disorders, however, can happen by ingestion of araceae, hostas, amarylidaceae, aucubas, mimosas from Japan, alamanda , euphorbiaceous, cyclamen, figs, mistletoe, holly, rhododendron, azalea and nightshade (Solanum nigrum).
The severe kidney problems may be a result of the consumption of imbé and fig. In addition, cardiovascular diseases can be caused by the ingestion of cyclamen, mistletoe or rhododendron.
In the case of nervous disorders, the origin can be the amarylidaceae, mistletoe, the bell plant, the mimosa from Japan, the imbé, the moorish grass or the cannabis sativa (marijuana).
Cats and toxic plants… What are they?
Below we list the name of some plants that are dangerous for your cats. If you have any of them, keep them out of reach of your pussies.
And remember that in case your pet eats any part of the poisonous plant, take it as soon as possible to the veterinarian. If possible, also take a sample of the plant for easy identification.
