🚨 What to Do If Your Cat Eats This Plant

Monitor closely—usually resolves on its own.

  1. Remove plant access immediately.
  2. Ensure your cat stays hydrated.
  3. Call your vet if vomiting lasts more than 6 hours.
  4. Consider pet-proofing: Snake plants grow slowly—easy to relocate!

💡 Fun fact: NASA lists it as an air purifier—but not cat-safe!
