Most cats are finicky eaters and are careful about what they eat. Thus, cases of poisoning in cats are generally rare. More often than not, it is the young nosy cats or kittens that are most at risk of eating harmful plants, particularly the ones inside the home.

Boredom also increases a cat’s risk to playing with anything and everything he can get his claws and mouth on. When your kitty is confined to a run or is confined entirely indoors, potentially toxic plants should be removed from its immediate environment.

Cats that are given free access outdoors tend to have other things in mind rather than sampling unfamiliar plants. However, even free-roaming adult cats may accidentally ingest seeds that have become entangled in their hair coat during grooming.

Apart from some plants being toxic to felines, all plants can exert an irritating effect on their digestive system and can cause vomiting. When given the opportunity, cats like to nibble on grass. When cat grass is not available, their attention may turn to less suitable household plants.

Be sure to have your cat checked by a Jensen Beach veterinarian. Visit this website for more valuable information.
