The toxic compound in aloe is saponins, which is a naturally occurring detergent found in various desert plants such as Yucca schidigera and Aloe vera.
Unfortunately, saponins are toxic to cats as well as dogs, birds and lizards. Symptoms of aloe poisoning include diarrhea, vomiting, loss of appetite, depression, tremors and a change in urine color.
According to the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine, the first symptoms typically appear six to 12 hours after the cat ingested the plant. If you suspect your cat has ingested aloe, stay calm and immediately take the pet to your veterinarian along with any remaining parts of the aloe plant.
Even if your cat doesn’t show signs of poisoning, you should seek medical assistance since symptoms may not appear for several hours or possibly days later.
Это случилось несколько дней назад. Никаких признаков отравления. Думаю, она его не сожрала, а растерзала, потому что по всей квартире мы находим кусочки :)

Она его не то чтобы сожрала - она его растерзала в клочья и огрызки гоняла потом по всей квартире :))

А вообще, интересно, может он(оно?) на кошек как-то действует?
Или это всё-таки нехватка полиэтилена в организме?
