Spring time means beautiful bright colours and sweet scents which we all love, and undoubtedly your cheeky kittens and cats will love to play with them too!
However it is important to be aware that many plants and flowers are toxic to our feline fur babies and ingesting them can cause serious health implications, from mild sickness to even death.
RSPCA Victoria advises pet owners to always be cautious of your feline’s flower fascination and keep them away from plants that you’re not 100% sure are feline-friendly.
“Signs your pet might have eaten a poisonous plant can include vomiting, lethargy, drooling and seizures,” they said.
“When taking your pet to the vet with suspected poisoning, it is a good idea to also take any material involved, such as chewed-up plant matter, so your vet has a better idea of what they’re treating.”
