Almond

Prunus dulcis

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Dr. Mittens on Almonds

The Verdict 🐾

Fellow furballs and discerning humans, let me put it this way: the almond is a definite no-go zone for us felines. Toxic? Yes, indeed! And I, Dr. Mittens, do NOT approve. If you value your whiskers, steer clear of this nutty menace!

The Taste Test

Now, you might wonder why a sophisticated kitty like myself would even contemplate tasting these nutty nuggets. Perhaps it’s their smooth, shiny appearance that tricks our feline brains into thinking they’re some sort of delightful toy! Or maybe they wiggle enticingly when the humans are around, evoking our primal hunting instincts. Whatever the reason, I assure you, they’re best left untouched—no matter how alluring they may seem!

The Puke Factor

Should a curious kitty decide to indulge in this forbidden fruit, the aftermath is less than pleasant. We’re talking about a rapid expulsion of lunch, followed by an unfortunate case of tummy turmoil. Symptoms may include excessive grooming (as if that’ll help), drooling like a fountain, and general discontent with life. Trust me, no one wants to see a cat in distress, especially not this regal feline!

Human Instructions

To my human servants: Banish this green invader from our domain! Ensure that almonds are locked away—preferably in a vault guarded by laser pointers. Let us feast on safe delights instead, while you marvel at my brilliance from a distance!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Almond?

Caution: Almond is toxic. If your cat has nibbled on it, monitor for symptoms like vomiting, lethargy, or loss of appetite and contact your veterinarian immediately. Do not wait for symptoms to worsen.

How can I keep my cat away from Almond?

Banishment is best. If you must keep it, ensure it is in a room the cat cannot access, or use high, unreachable shelves. Alternatively, consider a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=cat+deterrent+spray+for+plants&tag=duriancat-20" target="_blank">cat-safe deterrent spray</a> to protect both your cat and your greenery.
