are christmas cactus safe for cats

As much as I love Christmas cacti, they can be toxic for cats if they consume them. The sap and leaves of the plant contain saponins, which can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and even depression of the nervous system. To prevent this, it's best to keep the plant out of reach of cats, or if you have one as a pet, consider placing the plant in a room where your cat does not have access.
