My cat ate anthurium but seems fine. Should I take him to the vet now?

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 10 lbs

My cat may have consumed a tiny bit of the plant pink anthurium while I was at work. He isn’t showing any signs of pain, discomfort or anything. I looked inside his mouth to see if there were any blisters and I didn’t see any. Should I take him to the vet anyway? He seems ok to me and is grooming and acting like he normally does.

If you aren't seeing any blisters and Ash is acting normally, then I would just watch him for now. I would not take him into a vet. Should he shows any signs of problems, such as pain, discomfort, loss of appetite, blisters in his mouth, trouble grooming, or lethargy, have him seen by a vet. I hope this helps!
