Allium spp.

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Dr. Mittens on Allium

The Verdict 🐾

Attention, upright-walking servants! The esteemed Dr. Mittens declares: Allium is officially toxic! That's right, folks, this sneaky plant is not just a pretty face; it has a dark side that could send your beloved feline friend to the vet faster than a laser pointer at an unsuspecting cat. So, no, I do not approve.

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why a discerning cat like myself might consider munching on this green menace. Perhaps it’s the alluring bulbous shape that resembles a shiny toy, or maybe it’s the tantalizing aroma that wafts through the air like an inviting invitation to snack time. But trust me, dear humans, just because it wiggles doesn’t mean it’s worth a nibble!

The Puke Factor

Should a curious kitty decide to indulge in this plant, the repercussions could be as swift as a cat chasing a rogue feather. Symptoms include a rapid expulsion of lunch, which might just ruin your favorite rug, along with excessive drooling and a dash of lethargy. In short, if you see your feline friend looking like a confused potato, it’s time to call the vet!

Human Instructions

Listen carefully, human servants! Banish this green invader from your domain immediately! It poses a threat to our well-being and should not be allowed to lurk in your house. Replace it with something more suitable—like catnip, or perhaps a nice scratching post. Your feline overlords will thank you!
