Pothos is poisonous to cats. Pothos belongs to the Araceae family. The sap of the plant contains calcium oxalate needle crystals, which is highly irritating to the cat’s mouth, throat, skin and mucous membranes. If you come into contact with its juice or eat it accidentally, it may cause poisoning, and adverse reactions such as diarrhea, vomiting, salivation, and difficulty swallowing may occur.
Care methods for cats poisoned by eating pothos:
1. Induce vomiting in time. You can give your cat soapy water to induce vomiting so that the poison can be excreted before it can be absorbed into the intestines.
2. Send to hospital for treatment. If the situation is urgent, the cat needs to be sent to the pet hospital in time, and the cat should be observed and treated according to the doctor's instructions, and the gastrointestinal tract can be adjusted.
3. Take precautions. It is best to place pothos out of the reach of cats to prevent cats from being curious and biting the pothos. You can also give cats more cat grass.
