My fiance brought me home a bouque and it had these leaves in it. Like 30 minutes ago my cat got into it and ate half of a leaf. Located in Oregon. She's an inside cat, 4 years, 9 pounds. Can I get an ID so I can determine if she needs the vet?

Nandinia domestica, toxic.
Heavenly Bamboo, Nandina domestica.
Unfortunately it is toxic to cats.
The plant contains cyanogenic glycosides which, when broken down in the digestive tract, produce highly toxic hydrogen cyanide (HCN). All parts of the plant are poisonous, with the berries and leaves being particularly high in these compounds.
