My Cat ate my Yucca Plant...What do I do?

Hes eaten parts of it before, and nothing happened, but while we were away during the weekend, I think he may have ate too much. Now he is throwing up, not eating, and loosing weight. All the local Vets that I have called say there is no known treatment for cats the ingest Yucca plants. What should I do?

My Cat ate my Yucca Plant...What do I do?
The ASPCA National Animal Poison Control Center is a 24-hour emergency service with phones manned by licensed veterinarians and toxicologists (these are not free calls; have your credit card handy):





You can call 24 hours a day from anywhere in the U.S. 1-888-426-4435





Below is a list of common houseplants that can be harmful or fatal depending on the quantity swallowed. Also, remember that cats who chew plants are exposed to any chemical pesticides or fertilizers that may have been applied directly to the plants or through the soil.


You can prevent your cat from chewing on plants by misting the leaves then sprinkling them with cayenne pepper. You might also want to consider planting a container of grass (regular grass, not the drug) for your cat. If your cats are digging in your pots, go to your local hobby/craft store and buy a few pieces of plastic needlepoint canvas. Trim it to the shape of the pot, cut a slit in it and then a hole in the center for the plant. Rest it on top of the soil and your cat will be unable to dig.





Note that any plant that looks like a variation of grass is likely going to be considered food to a cat, so it's best to keep them in hanging pots well out of reach.





Symptoms of poisoning will range from seizures and foaming at the mouth to vomiting and coma. Immediate medical attention as soon as you see the cat has eaten a toxic substance (don't wait for symptoms to appear) is necessary.

Reply:Yucca plants do not seem poisonous to cats, so what you probably are faced with is a wait and see situation, where things will probably clear up once he passes what he ingested. Hopefully, there has been no punctures from any of the stiffer leaves.





Hopefully, he will recover. Then, you might want to consider growing some cat grass for him to nibble on. He might then leave your other plants alone.
