How toxic are Pothos to cats? 🐈
#PothosNJoy
I've had my pathos and joy for about 4 months. I have a cat who never bothered any of my plants. Hes not interested in them at all. Regardless, I keep the Pothos and snake plant high where he can't get to it.
This summer, I adopted a second cat, and guess what? She loves eating my plants 🪴. Luckily she hasn't gotten to any of the 3 toxic ones but my pathos and joy is in reach so Ive had to move him to a spot that's not desirable light wise as I have the other 2 toxic plants in the only high good spots that give lights.
Before I gift my pathos 😢 to someone, I just wanted to ask how toxic they are.

Sadly, (while not typically fatal) pothos contain calcium oxalate crystals, which cause oral irritation, excessive drooling, vomiting, difficulty swallowing, and gastrointestinal distress in cats if ingested :( HOWEVER.. you could try buying one of those little glass personal greenhouses to keep your plant in (and to keep your cat out 😉)
@BuffCaperspurge speaking of catnip...one of my cats would scale mountains, sail the seven seas, and take down armies if they stood between him & a pile of catnip. I have to triple bag it & then bury it in the back of a closet so he won't find it, because he will literally EAT the entire bag. I've had many cats in my life, and none of them showed any interest in catnip, including my other cat now. But Smokey with catnip is like Tony Montana & his pile of cocaine in Scarface 😂
I always find it fascinating how cats can have such vastly different personalities and likes (or in Smokey's case, obsessions/addictions lol)
