Alsike Clover

Trifolium hybridum

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Dr. Mittens on Alsike Clover

The Verdict 🐾

Dear humans, gather 'round as I unveil my findings on the notorious Alsike Clover (Trifolium hybridum). I must inform you that this green menace is indeed toxic! Yes, that's right—poisonous enough to make even the most daring feline reconsider their life choices. Therefore, I, Dr. Mittens, do NOT approve of this clover catastrophe!

The Taste Test

Now, you might wonder why a sophisticated cat such as myself would even consider nibbling on this clover. Perhaps it resembles a delightful toy, its trifoliate leaves appearing as if they were designed for a game of pounce! Or maybe the way it sways in the breeze mimics the dance of a particularly enticing feather. Alas, curiosity may lead even the wisest of kitties astray!

The Puke Factor

If one of us furry overlords dares to indulge in this toxic treat, prepare for a swift and dramatic exit of dinner. Symptoms may include the rapid expulsion of lunch, excessive drooling (a sign of utter disappointment), and a bout of lethargy that would make even the laziest cat reconsider their napping strategy. Not a pretty picture, I assure you!

Human Instructions

To my dear human servants, heed my advice: Banish this green invader from your gardens and yards! Your feline companions will thank you with purrs of appreciation and perhaps a paw on your leg for your diligence. Remember, safety first—playtime with the right toys, not the toxic greens!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Alsike Clover?

Caution: Alsike Clover 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 Alsike Clover?

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.
