What is Bodaiju?
Bodaiju is the Japanese name for the Bodhi tree. The Bodhi tree is a sacred Buddhist tree under which Buddha attained enlightenment. It is a large, evergreen tree with heart-shaped leaves.
The Bodhi tree is not poisonous to cats, but the leaves can be sharp and may cause stomach upset if ingested.
What to Do if Your Cat Ate Bodaiju
If your cat ate Bodaiju leaves, observe them for the next few hours. If they develop any symptoms of stomach upset, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation, contact your veterinarian.
If your cat shows no symptoms of illness, they do not need to be treated.
How to Prevent Your Cat from Eating Bodaiju Leaves
The best way to prevent your cat from eating Bodaiju leaves is to keep them out of reach. If you have a Bodhi tree in your yard, keep your cat indoors or supervised when they are outside.
You can also train your cat not to eat Bodhiju leaves by using positive reinforcement. When your cat sees the tree, give them a treat. Over time, your cat will learn to associate the tree with a positive experience and will be less likely to eat the leaves.
