🚨 What to Do If Your Cat Eats This Plant
Usually resolves at home—but monitor.
- Wipe your cat’s mouth and paws with a damp cloth.
- Offer fresh water.
- Call your vet if vomiting persists beyond 4–6 hours.
- Great for bouquets—but place out of paw’s reach.
💡 Note: Carnations are common in Mother’s Day arrangements—safe in moderation, but not “cat-proof.”
