Keep your cat away from Gypsophila!
Is gypsophila poisonous to cats?
Although many garden plants or cut flowers are harmless to humans, they are toxic to much smaller pets such as dogs, cats or rabbits. Gypsophila, also known as gypsophila or Gypsophila paniculata, belongs to this category.
The culprit is the contained saponins, which must not be allowed to enter the bloodstream. There they destroy the red blood cells. If taken orally (via the mouth / mouth), no significant reactions are expected with small amounts. However, they increase the permeability of the intestine. Thus, any unwanted substances from food are absorbed faster.
