Many people like to decorate their apartments with indoor plants: this makes the house much more cozy and "lived-in".
However, pet owners are always concerned about how dangerous plants can be.
It is known that some flowers do have high toxicity rates, experts remind. It is worth remembering that ficus is one of the most popular plant species. Therefore, many want to know whether it can be used in the interior if you have a cat at home.
Is the plant dangerous for pets?
Unfortunately, the answer is obvious: ficus is dangerous for cats. When eating the plant, the pet may experience vomiting and diarrhea.
Also, when using ficus, cats experience active salivation. Another symptom is the appearance of irritation in the oral cavity.
Therefore, when purchasing a ficus, you should always consider the risks.
If the cat could not resist and ate parts of the plant, it is better not to delay: the animal should be shown to a specialist.
However, if you can wean your pet off eating ficus, then you can leave the plant.
