Many common houseplants can be toxic to cats, causing symptoms from mild gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, diarrhea) to severe organ damage or even death, depending on the plant. It's crucial to identify the plant your cat is ingesting and immediately check its toxicity level. Even non-toxic plants can cause stomach upset if consumed in large quantities. The safest approach is to remove all houseplants from areas accessible to your cat or choose only pet-safe varieties. If you're unsure about the plant or if your cat is showing any symptoms like drooling, vomiting, lethargy, or loss of appetite, contact your veterinarian.
