🚨 What to Do If Your Cat Eats This Plant
Mild to moderate emergency—seek veterinary care.
- Rinse your cat’s mouth gently with water (do not force).
- Offer a small amount of milk or tuna water to soothe irritation.
- Call your vet for advice—most cases resolve with supportive care.
- Watch for breathing difficulty (rare but serious).
💡 Pro tip: Keep Monsteras on high shelves—they’re climbers and love to drape!
