If your cat has eaten a lamium, it is important to monitor them closely for any symptoms of poisoning. Symptoms of lamium poisoning in cats can include:

- Seizures
If your cat shows any of these symptoms, it is important to take them to a veterinarian immediately.
Lamiaceae is a large family of flowering plants, which includes many common garden plants such as mint, basil, thyme, oregano, and lavender. Many members of the Lamiaceae family are known to be toxic to cats, and lamium is one of them. The toxic compound in lamium is called stachydrine, which can cause a variety of symptoms in cats, including gastrointestinal upset, neurological problems, and even death.
The amount of stachydrine in lamium varies depending on the species of plant and the growing conditions. Some species of lamium are more toxic than others, and plants that are grown in stress conditions (such as drought or poor soil) tend to have higher levels of stachydrine.
If you are concerned that your cat may have eaten lamium, it is important to contact your veterinarian immediately. They will be able to assess your cat’s condition and determine if they need treatment.
