CATDOLL : Are orchids toxic to cats?

Orchids are poisonous to cats because the leaves of orchids contain a large amount of alkaloids. If cats accidentally eat orchids, they are prone to poisoning reactions, vomiting, drooling, lack of energy and poor appetite. Therefore, if a cat is found to have eaten orchids, it is necessary to take it to the pet hospital in time for vomiting and gastric lavage to avoid delaying the disease.

When raising cats at home, you can plant flowers such as lilies, orchids, anthuriums, daffodils, etc. If you want to plant flowers at home, you can choose to place orange peels, pebbles or granular stones in the flowerpots, or you can directly place the flowerpots in a high place where the cats cannot illegally touch them, thereby preventing the cats from eating.

When raising cats at home, you can choose to grow cat grass, catnip, and fresh vegetables and fruits. Catnip is the common nepeta, which can relieve cats' anxiety after eating. In addition, you can also place plastic flowers that are less harmful to cats to beautify the environment.
