Is Pothos-leaf Labisia toxic to cats?

Labisia pothoina

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists pothos-leaf labisia 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. Labisia pothoina is not individually listed by ASPCA. As a member of the Primulaceae family in the Labisia genus, it is likely to contain saponins and bioactive phytochemicals similar to related species. No specific pet toxicity data is available. Given the pharmacological activity of the genus and the absence of ASPCA non-toxic listing, treat with caution and keep away from pets and children.

What to do if your cat ate pothos-leaf labisia

  1. Remove any plant material from your cat's mouth and move pothos-leaf labisia out of reach.
