Poppy
Papaver spp.
Poppy (Papaver spp.) is toxic to cats due to the presence of isoquinoline alkaloids — including morphine, codeine, papaverine, and related opioid compounds in opium poppy (Papaver somniferum), and non-opioid isoquinolines in other species. All parts of the plant contain these alkaloids, with the highest concentration in the seed pod latex.
重要提醒
Toxic compounds: isoquinoline alkaloids (opioid and non-opioid types depending on species); seed pod latex most concentrated
Mechanism: opioid alkaloids bind to mu-opioid receptors, causing CNS and respiratory depression; cats are particularly sensitive to opioids
Symptoms: sedation, lethargy, pin-point pupils, slow or laboured breathing, loss of coordination, vomiting; severe cases cause respiratory failure
Even ornamental (non-opium) poppy species contain irritant alkaloids that cause GI upset
Any suspected poppy ingestion warrants prompt veterinary evaluation due to opioid sensitivity in cats
