Is eucalyptus poisonous to cats if I hang it in my bathroom?

Is eucalyptus poisonous to cats? I would love to hang some eucalyptus in my bathroom because my sinuses are acting up, but not if it means poisoning my kitties. Thank you!

Eucalyptus can cause gastrointestinal signs like vomiting and diarrhea if large amounts are ingested. The oil tends to be more toxic. You could hang the eucalyptus where your cats don't have access, but if you think they'll still try to eat it you may want to avoid it.
