According to reliable sources, Akebia quinata is not listed as toxic to cats. However, it’s always best to err on the side of caution if your cat has ingested any part of a plant.
Here’s what you can do:
- Monitor your cat: Look for any signs of vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or unusual behavior.
- Contact your veterinarian: Call your vet and explain what happened. They may advise monitoring your cat for now, or recommend bringing them in for an examination depending on the amount ingested and any symptoms present. Having Akebia quinata on hand (a leaf or picture) would be helpful for the vet to identify the plant.
- American Animal Poison Control Center (AAPCC): If you’d like additional advice, you can contact the American Animal Poison Control Center (AAPCC) at (888) 426-4435. There is a consultation fee for this service.
I hope this information helps!
