Are cymbidium orchids toxic to cats? Is any kind of orchid poisonous for cats? - thefitpets - 06-15-2022

Like we said earlier, orchids aren’t poisonous to cats, and it is often a better option if they don’t munch on flowers or plants because of digestive issues. However, other plants are actually toxic and are best avoided.
Which plant should be avoided? There’s a complete list of poisonous plants cats should avoid on the ASPCA webpage, and you can check it out to be sure you have a safe space for both plants and animals. However, we will list a couple of popular plants that are toxic to cats:
  • Ago Palms

  • Amaryllis

  • Autumn crocus

  • Azalea

  • Caladium

  • Calla lily

  • Cape jasmine

  • Carnation

  • Chrysanthemum
If your cat has eaten a poisonous plant or flower, it is advised that you head straight to a vet for a blood test that will check to see if their nimble bodies and delicate organs are being affected by toxic chemicals contained in the plant or flower.

Depending on what your kitty may have ingested, you may have to watch for signs of poisoning or take your cat to the clinic as soon as possible.
