Arrowhead Vine

Syngonium podophyllum

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Dr. Mittens on Arrowhead Vine

The Verdict 🐾

Ah, dear humans, it seems you’ve brought another green miscreant into your domain! The Arrowhead Vine, also known as Syngonium, is decidedly toxic. As your esteemed Feline Safety Researcher, I must vehemently disapprove of this leafy intruder. Keep it far from my paws, lest I have to add it to my list of grievances against you!

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why a curious feline might consider nibbling on this plant. Perhaps its glossy leaves glint in the light, mimicking a tantalizing toy? Or could it be that it wiggles enticingly when the wind blows, much like a pesky insect? Whatever the reason, my dear humans, know that your furry companion’s curiosity is not always a wise choice. Just because it looks like fun doesn’t mean it’s safe!

The Puke Factor

Should a brave (or foolish) feline indulge in this questionable greenery, the results may be quite alarming. Expect a rapid expulsion of lunch, accompanied by excessive drooling and an undeniable air of regret. Not to mention, your beloved kitty may exhibit an impressive array of other symptoms, including an upset tummy and a general sense of “What have I done?” Let’s just say, this is one adventure you’d want to avoid!

Human Instructions

So, my dear human servants, heed my advice: Banish this green invader! Dispose of it with haste and ensure your home is a safe haven for your feline overlords. Trust me; your whiskered companions will thank you for it—eventually.


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Arrowhead Vine?

Caution: Arrowhead Vine is toxic. If your cat has nibbled on it, monitor for symptoms like vomiting, lethargy, or loss of appetite and contact your veterinarian immediately. Do not wait for symptoms to worsen.

How can I keep my cat away from Arrowhead Vine?

Banishment is best. If you must keep it, ensure it is in a room the cat cannot access, or use high, unreachable shelves. Alternatively, consider a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=cat+deterrent+spray+for+plants&tag=duriancat-20" target="_blank">cat-safe deterrent spray</a> to protect both your cat and your greenery.
