Dr. Mittens' Feline Safety Research: Ajuga

The Verdict 🐾

Ah, dear humans, gather 'round! The plant known as Ajuga is a delightful non-toxic green companion in our gardens. Yes, it’s safe. I, Dr. Mittens, wholeheartedly approve of this lovely foliage. Perhaps you should learn to appreciate it as well, instead of your obsession with those pesky houseplants that are out to get us!

The Taste Test

Now, why might a feline connoisseur be tempted to nibble on Ajuga? Its vibrant, leafy greens might remind a curious cat of a wiggly toy! Or perhaps it’s the way those little blue flowers look like the perfect target for a pounce. Either way, I can assure you, if it looks fun, we’ll want to taste it—just to confirm it’s not a trap!

The Puke Factor

If you find me, Dr. Mittens, indulging in a snack of Ajuga, fear not! There will be no dramatic scenes of rapid expulsion of lunch. In fact, Ajuga is so benign that the worst I’d experience would be a mild belly rumble or an inquisitive head tilt. So, no need for a clean-up operation, humans!

Human Instructions

As my devoted human servants, I suggest you allow Ajuga to remain in your gardens. It will not endanger our majestic feline selves. Instead, it will add a splash of color that even I might admire from my sunny perch. Just be sure to keep an eye on those other suspicious plants!


Frequently Asked Questions 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Ajuga?

Good news! Ajuga is generally considered safe. While a large amount might cause a mild tummy upset (standard cat logic), it is not toxic.

How can I keep my cat away from Ajuga?

Since it's safe, you don't have to worry much, but hanging baskets are a great way to keep your foliage out of "nibble range".
