Can cats eat chrysanthemum leaves?

Cats cannot eat chrysanthemum leaves. The stems and leaves of chrysanthemums are poisonous to cats. Cats may suffer from vomiting and diarrhea after eating them. If you have a cat at home, you must pay attention to these issues. Cats are very curious and may chew some plants. It is best not to have such plants that may cause cat poisoning in the environment where cats are raised.

What to do if a cat accidentally eats chrysanthemum leaves:

1. If the cat does not have gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea or vomiting, there is no need to worry too much.

2. If the cat shows the above symptoms, it is recommended to take it to the pet hospital for further examination and treatment in time.

3. In addition to chrysanthemums, some common plants are also poisonous to cats, such as azaleas, daffodils, lilies, etc., which should not be allowed to come into contact with cats.
