I believe they are, but have a low toxicity.
how much did your cat eat? It can be very irritating to the stomach and your cat might throw it up. You should call your vet and confirm. |

Every year the American Florist Society puts out a press release to try to put to death this persistent rumor that poinsettias are poisonous, yet in a survey only 16 percent of Americans knew that poinsettias are non-toxic. http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/p/poinsettias.htm http://www.snopes.com/holidays/christmas/poinsettia.asp http://www.landsteward.org/page.cfm/21187 -yngver |

In which country? In the U.S. at least, from what I have read there has never been a documented case of a pet or human being dying from eating poinsettia. Researchers at Ohio State University have measured the effects of ingesting unusually high doses of all parts of the plant by rats, and found the plants to be non-toxic. -yngver |

Are Poinsettas dangerous to cat's ? Dangerous to a cat's *what*? If you mean dangerous to cats (plural), then I believe the answer is yes. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com/ "If there's one thing I know, it's men.
