Yeah these can be fairly toxic to cats so maybe don’t let your cat eat them
I was wondering about that, so let this meme serve as a PSA to cat owners on lemmy.
That's probably a sign of stomach issues too, the cat should be seen by a vet
Sometimes my cat tries to eat things because we have scolded her for trying. Obviously if we don't want her to eat it, then it must be super delicious. Some cats are just kinda weird.
We only bring cat-safe plants inside around the kitties. On occasion we'll get a bouquet with nonconfirmed content but luckily they aren't interested. They love cat grass, though, but one of them will only eat it if you present her one blade at a time, and you must hold it for her lol.
That's a good point, it does depend on the cat, and responsible owners know what's normal for their cat. In general though, cats can tell when something is toxic to them. If they're eating small amounts of something toxic, it's a potential sign of health issues.
Cats absolutely do not just inherently know when something is toxic to them. They just don't, this is 100% false. It's up to the owner to keep that sort of thing away from them
What is it?
