Calla is highly toxic to cats
Cat owners should do without Calla
The noble room calla contains chemical substances that are toxic to cats. Cat lovers should therefore keep this ornamental plant with care. Especially young cats with a strong play instinct can cause serious damage by licking the vegetable juice.
With Calla caution is necessary
A pluck on the leaves or flowers of Calla - and it's done: The cat gets the poisonous plant juice to the paws and licks it off. The consequences are symptoms of intoxication, although rarely fatal, but still very unpleasant for the animal.
If you do not want to give up on a room calla, place it so that the cat can not bother.
On the leaves also the undamaged plant secretes poisonous sap. Make sure that the juice can not drip on the cat ceiling or in the food bowl.
Tips & Tricks
Store Calla's flower bulbs unreachable for cats. The onions can cause symptoms of intoxication.
