  • @madisonrosemccormick
    @madisonrosemccormick21 күн бұрын

    You can keep your plant on a shelf or somewhere up high where you cat can't get to as in most cases even if the cat manages to snag a bite it only causes mild tummy ache or maybe some puking but it they aren't actually poisonous. The only plant to 100% keep out of a pet household are lilies as they are the only actually toxic plant to cats

  • @BirdofParadise

    That’s a good idea… maybe a hanging pothos on the ceiling? 🤗

  • @SticksWithPicks
    @SticksWithPicks17 күн бұрын

    Most ornamental house and garden plants contain toxins and will cause vomiting and stomach issues when ingested by humans and animals, but fortunately very few are lethal or will require a trip to the vet/ER. Cats usually learn that that will happen, so they will only chew on plants to induce vomiting to get rid of hairballs. That's why we give them cat grass which does exactly that by "just" irritating the cat's stomach due to their inability to digest it. But cat grass does not contain toxins and is therefore a safer option for hair balls. So rather research if a plant is dangerous or lethal for pets and kids. For example any kind"s of lilies [including peace/calla lilies and hyacinths] are VERY dangerous for cats because even any pollen that falls on the cat's fur when accidentally brushing the plant or drinking the water from the vase can cause fatal kidney damage. Other dangerous plants are anything with bulbs like Tulips, Narcissus, Amaryllis, Daffodils, Crocus etc - which will cause organ failure, tremors and seizures. Fortunately, the toxins are mostly concentrated in the bulb and cats usually can't even stand their smell and won't dig them up. Bigger risk for kids and dogs! Oleanders and Azaleas - can cause cardiac arrest even in humans‼️ Dieffenbachia - causes burning and swelling in the mouth and throat in animals and humans, similar to anaphylactic shock [called "Dumb Cane" for that reason] Sago Palm - even small amounts can lead to liver failure and extreme stomach issues.

    I really don’t do much tbh. I water mine when I see the leaves wilting a bit, and keep them in bright indirect sunlight. Sometimes I’ll add crushed eggshells and coffee grounds to their soil.
