🚨 What to Do If Your Cat Eats This Plant
Generally safe—but take precautions:
- Trim thorns if your cat is curious.
- Avoid floral foam (often contains toxic phenol).
- Keep vase water clean—stagnant water can harbor bacteria.
- Never confuse with “Desert Rose” or “Christmas Rose”—those are TOXIC!
💡 Fun fact: Rose petals are edible for humans—and harmless if your cat nibbles one!
