WILL MONSTERA PLANT KILL MY CAT?
In this blog, we will discuss if really is monstera toxic to cats or not and how you can keep your cat safe around them.
Monstera is a beautiful tropical plant with large green leaves that grow from its trunk and stems. The monstera plants are grown indoors in many homes and offices, where they can reach heights of up to 10 feet. Some people even grow it outside their house, but this requires more care than just keeping it indoors.
Is Monstera toxic to cats?
The short answer is yes. Most people think that the Monstera deliciosa is poisonous for cats, and this is true. However, there are some things you should know about this plant before deciding whether or not to keep it around your home.
First and foremost, cats are not as sensitive to plant toxins as humans are, so it may take longer for a cat to show signs of toxicity. This means that you might not notice anything happening at first, but your cat could develop symptoms later on. The most common signs of toxicity include vomiting and diarrhea.
Secondly, you should know that while some parts of the Monstera plant are toxic and will cause vomiting in cats (the fruit), other parts of the plant (the leaves) can be eaten without any danger of toxicity.
Thirdly, if your cat eats one leaf or two leaves from a Monstera plant it will probably not be enough to cause serious problems or death. You should still watch your cat closely after they have eaten any part of this plant though just in case any side effects come up later on down the road!
What Are The Symptoms Of Poisoning From The Monstera Plant?
If your cat eats part of this plant, she may experience drooling, watering eyes, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy (lack of energy), muscle tremors, and seizures. If your cat has eaten any part of the Monstera plant, it is best to call your veterinarian immediately. He will be able to assess the situation and decide if your cat needs any treatment or if he needs to monitor her symptoms at home until they go away on their own.
How Do I Prevent My Cat From Eating The Monstera Plant?
The best way to prevent your cat from eating any part of the Monstera plant is by keeping them away from it by putting it up high where only humans can reach them – preferably somewhere.
