In Reply to: Asparagus Fern &; Cats posted by JR on October 19, 19100 at 14:48:21:
One of my cats ate some of the plant and she did vomit, but I did not see any other symptoms.
However, I just found this info on another site, and now I am going to make sure that this plant is off limits to the cats:
Known as: Asparagus Fern, Emerald Feather, Plumosus Fern (see also Sprengeri Fern)
Latin Name: Asparagus setaceus
Description: Fine feathery fronds of a bright emerald green.
Symptoms: Vomiting, drooling, diarrhea, abdominal pain, cramps, swelling around the mouth, or difficulty in breathing. May cause tremors, heart and respiratory and/or kidney problems which are difficult for an owner to detect.
Treatment: Unless your cat is unconscious or having convulsions, induce vomiting. Get immediate veterinary assistance.
