Hi there...Poinsettias are poisonous. It is the alkaloids in the leaf tissue can cause irritation to the mucus membranes of the mouth and throat which is very toxic. The white stuff is the toxins: http://cats.about.com/cs/catmanagement101/a/poisonplants.htm

Poinsettia is mildly poisonous to cats. "Low toxicity." I'd say this means don't worry unless the cat eats a large amount and acts sick.

This plant is poisonous to cats and other pets. Please find a new home for the poinsettia.

They are not poisonous, but any plant can mkae her ill.
The white stuff can be stopped from " bleeding" out by taking a lighter or match to it quickly.

duh, put the poinsettia out of her reach. Also if you have tinsel in the house NEVER put it where your cat can get it. Both of these things will cause death in your kitty.
