🚨 What to Do If Your Cat Eats This Plant

Mild to moderate emergency—seek veterinary care.

  1. Rinse your cat’s mouth gently with water (do not force).
  2. Offer a small amount of milk or tuna water to soothe irritation.
  3. Call your vet for advice—most cases resolve with supportive care.
  4. Watch for breathing difficulty (rare but serious).

💡 Pro tip: Keep Monsteras on high shelves—they’re climbers and love to drape!
