My 3.5 year-old health male cat likes to go over to my mother's house because he's infatuated with my mother's cat. I have to go help her with dinner every night, so it's often a daily thing. Yesterday, he seemed under the weather and wasn't eating, so I booked a vet appointment for tomorrow, the soonest I could get. (We don't have enough vets around here.)
Then, just now, he threw up a big ball of partially-digested plant leaves, but I have no plants in the house. Then it occurred to me. A family member sent my mother a flower arrangement for Thanksgiving. It was still there, so I went over to check. Sure enough, it had poet's laurel in it, so apparently, he ate some leaves off the flower arrangement. Before anyone freaks out about "laurel," poet's laurel is in the asparagus family and is not deadly poisonous. It's often used in flower arrangements because it stays green a long time
So since he's thrown it up and seems to feel better, would you still take him to the vet?
I hate flower arrangements. I have a number of friends whose cats have been made sick by them.
