Cats cannot eat calamus. Calamus is a kind of spice from the Araceae family. It has a strong and tangy fragrance and is not classified as cat grass. This grass is somewhat toxic to cats, so avoid feeding calamus grass as cat grass to cats. Calamus grass usually lives near streams. If you take your cat to play by the stream, you need to pay careful attention to the cat's movements and don't let the cat accidentally eat it. If you want to rid your cat of hair balls, it is recommended to use special cat grass and hair removal cream instead of unusual plants.
How to prevent cats from accidentally eating calamus:
1. Do not keep potted calamus plants at home. It is best not to keep similar potted plants such as lilies and poppies. These plants are toxic to cats if placed within their reach and can have serious consequences if they accidentally ingest them.
2. If you do not have a calamus potted plant at home, you can learn about the basal leaves of the calamus, which are sword-shaped, with a prominent midrib, folded sheaths at the base, and membranous edges. Born in swamps, streams or paddy fields. If you take your cat to play near these places, you should pay careful attention to the cat's movements to prevent the cat from eating by mistake.
3. If the cat accidentally eats it, take the cat to the pet hospital for examination as soon as possible. Do not delay, so as not to affect the best rescue time.
