Pothos
Epipremnum aureum
❌Toxic to Cats
Contains calcium oxalate crystals that cause immediate burning and irritation in the mouth, lips, and tongue. Cats often chew it out of curiosity due to trailing vines—but even a small bite causes distress.

🚨 What to Do If Your Cat Eats This Plant
Not usually life-threatening—but very painful. Act quickly.
- Remove plant fragments from your cat’s mouth.
- Rinse gently with cool water.
- Offer a lick of plain yogurt or a few drops of milk to neutralize crystals.
- Call your vet if symptoms last more than 2–3 hours.
💡 Pro tip: Hang Pothos out of reach—or replace with a safe vine like String of Hearts (non-toxic!).
