Leptotes jessamineoides (known as Summer Twinflower or Blue Star Creeper) is a perennial plant that is poisonous to cats.
Symptoms of Leptotes Poisoning in Cats:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Lethargy
- Loss of appetite
- Difficulty breathing
- Seizures
- Coma
Steps to Take if Your Cat Ate Leptotes:
- Contact your veterinarian immediately. Even if your cat is not showing any symptoms, prompt medical attention is crucial.
- Induce vomiting ONLY if directed by your veterinarian. Do not induce vomiting if your cat is unconscious or experiencing seizures.
- Bring a sample of the plant to your veterinarian. This will help them confirm the diagnosis and determine the appropriate treatment.
- Administer activated charcoal (if prescribed by your veterinarian). This can help absorb the toxins in your cat’s digestive tract.
- Provide supportive care. Keep your cat warm and comfortable. Offer small amounts of water or electrolyte solutions to prevent dehydration.
- Monitor your cat closely for any changes in condition. Contact your veterinarian immediately if your cat’s symptoms worsen or if new symptoms develop.
Treatment for Leptotes Poisoning in Cats:
- Intravenous fluids to correct dehydration and electrolyte imbalances
- Medications to control vomiting and diarrhea

- Oxygen therapy if your cat is experiencing respiratory distress
- In severe cases, hospitalization may be necessary
Prevention:
- Keep Leptotes plants out of reach of your cat.
- Provide plenty of safe and non-toxic plants for your cat to chew on and play with.
- Monitor your cat’s behavior and any changes in appetite, lethargy, or activity level.
