Asarina is a genus of climbing plants in the family Plantaginaceae. It is native to Central and South America. The leaves and stems of the plant contain saponins, which can be toxic to cats. Symptoms of saponins poisoning in cats include vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and lethargy. In severe cases, saponins can cause respiratory distress and death. If you think your cat has eaten an Asarina plant, it is important to take them to a veterinarian immediately.
