The holidays bring festive decor, including beautiful plants, but many of these can pose serious risks to our feline friends. Here’s a guide to the dangers of popular holiday plants and how to keep your cat safe.

⚠️ Highly Toxic Plants to Avoid

Holly: Both the leaves and berries can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and lethargy.

Mistletoe: Can lead to severe gastrointestinal upset, difficulty breathing, and even seizures in severe cases.

Yew: Extremely poisonous, yew can cause sudden death due to its toxic alkaloids.

Amaryllis: All parts are toxic, especially the bulb, causing vomiting, drooling, and tremors.

Christmas Rose (Helleborus niger): Contains toxins that can cause abdominal pain, drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, and depression.

Lilies: Even small amounts of lily ingestion can cause kidney failure in cats, making them among the most dangerous plants for cats year-round.

⚠️ Plants with Mild Toxicity

Poinsettias: While not as toxic as once believed, the sap can irritate your cat’s mouth and stomach, leading to drooling and mild vomiting.

Christmas Cactus: Generally non-toxic, but ingestion may cause mild stomach upset in some cats.

🎄 Safety Tips

1. Keep plants out of reach: Cats are curious climbers, so ensure toxic plants are placed where they can’t access them.

2. Opt for faux plants: Artificial decorations can provide the same festive cheer without the risk.

3. Know the signs of poisoning: Look for drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or seizures. If you suspect poisoning, contact your vet or an emergency pet poison helpline immediately.

Let’s make this holiday season safe and joyful for everyone, including your furry family members!

We made it to Syracuse, NY for IVF!
Rebarkable's page will be quiet for a bit as we go to appointments and then travel back home at the end of the week. If you have any questions please feel free to send a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Have a wonderful week!

Good afternoon! Bit of an IVF Update!

We are triggering ovulation tonight! 🥳

So, that means we will be on the road early tomorrow headed to Syracuse, NY for arrival in the late afternoon. Retrieval is Wednesday! And then transfer could be Thursday or Saturday! We could be home Friday or Sunday. 🥰

Please keep praying for us! This whole process is new, and a little scary. I am so happy I am going through this with Eric! He's an amazing partner!

Just a little windy for Finn and I! He's a good pup!

12/16/2024

Willow didn't mind the mist and was pulling me along while she found all the cool scents!

12/16/2024

Sweet Pearl wasn't loving the mist of rain we were getting! Her jacket kept her mostly dry and cozy!

Can you believe Christmas is 12 days away? Wow! Make sure to keep your pets safe in their festive environments!

Adding some holiday greenery to your decor this year? 🌱 🎄 Plants can spruce things up, however some of them can also be dangerous for pets and require extra care if you have a pet that might see them as a snack. If your pet ingests any of these holiday plants, call your vet or Pet Poison Helpline.

P.S. If you're curious about Christmas trees 👀 ... they can cause intestinal blockage if the needles are ingested. Live trees are also sometimes treated with chemicals that can cause toxicity if chewed on.

Doubled up on Willow's jackets too! This is the last walk for a little bit - ideally IVF travel will happen Sunday, for retrieval Monday. We will know more tomorrow! Also, weather is picking up! Stay safe and warm out there!

12/12/2024

Decided to do some shorter walks due to wind chill! Pearl wasn't a fan of the cold, even with both her layers. I can't blame her! I've got double pants, triple shirts, a big puffy jacket, scarf, and gloves and I'm still cold too! 🥶

Crazy start to the snowy morning! Bringing Sherlock P**f to the vet because he broke an upper canine off! Root is still in his gums. Since he has an enlarged heart and shouldn't go under anesthesia, we are trying pain management, and antibiotics to see if his gums push the root out. If not, then we may brave the dental surgery. I hope we don't have to!

Brisk walk with Finn! Felt like a jog! 🏃‍♀️

12/11/2024

Willow and I were blown around by the wind! We both bundled up. Stay warm and safe out there! 🥶

12/11/2024

We saw some deer today and that made our walk instantly exciting! Once the deer ran off Pearl had to track them! 🐾

12/10/2024

Finn and I were fighting some wind, not that he noticed unless there was a new scent!
