Is Grass-Leaved Edraianthus toxic to cats?

Edraianthus graminifolius

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists grass-leaved edraianthus as mildly toxic to cats — a chewing cat typically gets mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a medical emergency, but it is still best kept out of reach. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Edraianthus graminifolius is not listed in the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant database; no confirmed reports of toxicity to cats or dogs exist. Classified as mildly-toxic as a precaution. Do not allow pets to graze on the plant, and consult a vet if ingestion occurs.

What to do if your cat ate grass-leaved edraianthus

  1. Remove any plant material from your cat's mouth and move grass-leaved edraianthus out of reach.
  2. Note how much was eaten and when, and watch for drooling, vomiting, or lethargy.
  3. Do not induce vomiting unless a vet or poison-control specialist instructs you to.
  4. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 and follow their advice.
