So.. naughty Monet (I am positive it was him).. got into my pothos shoot that I was trying to root.. It's been in my bathroom for 3 weeks, untouched.. and I guess he discovered it during the night. I found it on the floor and about 5 or 6 leaves chewed and eaten (And I say eaten because I don't see it chucked up anywhere)

I am not sure of the time he got into the plant.. sometime during the night. Right now, both cats are fine.. nothing out of the ordinary, eating and perfectly fine.. No throw up anywhere, and poo looks normal.

Sites says pothos are mildly toxic, which can cause swollen lips and drooling.

 but I am wondering, how long after eating a plant can symptoms appear, if any? Is it within few hours? a day?

Hmmm...not sure.  I  honestly didn't know pothos were toxic.  I'd give my Vet a call in the morning and ask them.

The cats are doing great. Guess the plant did not bother them!

Thanks for the number, I wrote it down :)

Good news
Handy number to have.  We always hope we'll never need it though.   You just don't know what these mischievous boogers can get into.
