Is Revolute Tromotriche toxic to cats?

Tromotriche revoluta

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists revolute tromotriche 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. Tromotriche is a stapeliad within Apocynaceae (subfamily Asclepiadoideae) and is not individually listed by ASPCA. Given the family's association with potentially toxic glycosides and alkaloids in other genera, treat with caution and keep out of reach of pets and children.

What to do if your cat ate revolute tromotriche

  1. Remove any plant material from your cat's mouth and move revolute tromotriche 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.
  5. Bring a leaf or photo of revolute tromotriche to the appointment so it can be treated correctly.

General guidance, not veterinary advice. If you think your cat has eaten revolute tromotriche, contact your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 — do not wait for symptoms to worsen.
