Wahoo

Yes, Wahoo is toxic to cats. The plant contains cardiac glycosides that can cause gastrointestinal distress and systemic effects, including potential heart-rhythm abnormalities if enough is ingested.

The ASPCA lists vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weakness as expected symptoms. With larger doses, heart-rhythm abnormalities can occur — watch for lethargy, reluctance to move, pale gums, or a rapid or irregular pulse as signs of possible cardiac involvement.

Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 right away — don't wait for symptoms to appear, as earlier intervention is better with cardiac glycoside-containing plants. Treat weakness, an unusual heart rate, or repeated vomiting as urgent.

The classification data does not specify which part of Euonymus occidentalis is most concentrated in cardiac glycosides, so the safest approach is to treat the entire plant — leaves, stems, bark, and berries — as a hazard and keep cats away from it entirely.

Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 right away — do not wait for symptoms to appear. Any sign of weakness, irregular or rapid heartbeat, or persistent vomiting warrants immediate veterinary care.

Exact onset and duration are not well documented in the ASPCA listing for this plant. Because cardiac glycoside poisoning can escalate quickly, treat any suspected ingestion as urgent and contact a vet without waiting to see whether symptoms develop.

The ASPCA lists vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weakness as the primary signs. With larger doses, heart-rhythm abnormalities are possible — watch for collapse, pale gums, weakness that doesn't improve, or labored breathing.
