cats and flowers

[mystyk_star]

My cat ate a tulip petal that fell off, does anybody know if they are poisoness?

Wouldn't have thought so, keep an eye on her and is she starts displaying any symptoms take her to the vets. My cat eats an array of bugs including spiders, moths and butterflies, she also eats lots of grass, cats are quite resilient so if it is she'll probably just sick it up!

probably not - but perhaps poisonous

it's surprising what animals will eat without any trouble at all. I had a rabbit that ate ALL the plants in my garden when he got out ... including the ones that the experts claim are poisonous to rabbits. He loved em lol. My cats will nibble on my daffodils and tulips quite happily.

A tulip? Are you sure? No tulips in the northern hemisphere flowering at this time of year, surely? Are you in Oz, or NZ?

I actually wasn't sure what kind of flower it was, but I thought it was a tulip. I got in a bouquet with alot of different types of flowers. I am actually in the US, in the desert-AZ, I came upon this website in a search when my cat ate a couple of crickets and threw up during the night. My cat is ok after eating the flower petal, now it just seems like he is catching a cold, because he keeps sneezing!
