My cat ate Fetcani Pass Twinspur — what to do

Step by step

  1. Take fetcani pass twinspur away and remove any plant material from your cat's mouth so they cannot eat more.
  2. Note roughly how much was eaten and when — this helps the vet judge the risk.
  3. Do NOT induce vomiting unless a vet or poison-control specialist tells you to.
  4. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 (a consultation fee may apply) and follow their advice.
  5. Watch for drooling, pawing at the mouth, vomiting, loss of appetite, or lethargy, and bring a leaf or photo to the appointment.

This is general guidance, not veterinary advice. Pets vary, and a reaction may be to soil, fertiliser, or pesticide as well as the plant. When in doubt, call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435.

My cat ate fetcani pass twinspur — FAQ

Is fetcani pass twinspur poisonous to cats?

Yes — the ASPCA lists Fetcani Pass Twinspur (Diascia fetcaniensis) as mildly toxic to cats. Diascia fetcaniensis is not listed in the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant database and no specific toxic principle has been identified in the genus; however, because it lacks a formal non-toxic classification, caution is advised around pets and children.

How serious is it if my cat ate fetcani pass twinspur?

Fetcani Pass Twinspur is mildly toxic, so most cats get short-lived mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a life-threatening reaction. It is still worth a vet call to be safe, especially if your cat ate a lot or symptoms persist.

What symptoms should I watch for?

Signs usually appear soon after chewing: drooling, pawing at the mouth, vomiting, loss of appetite, or unusual lethargy. Diascia fetcaniensis is not listed in the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant database and no specific toxic principle has been identified in the genus; however, because it lacks a formal non-toxic classification, caution is advised around pets and children. Any worsening or persistent symptoms warrant an immediate vet visit.

Should I make my cat vomit?

No — do not induce vomiting unless a vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center specifically tells you to. The wrong action can make things worse. Call (888) 426-4435 and follow professional advice.

How do I stop this happening again?
