Alyssum

The Verdict 🐾

After a thorough investigation from my luxurious sunbeam spot, I declare the Alyssum plant a resounding SAFE choice for both humans and their feline overlords. Yes, my dear human servants, you can breathe a sigh of relief—this delightful little plant has passed my rigorous safety standards. I, Dr. Mittens, wholeheartedly approve. Now, if only you could learn to keep your shoelaces out of my reach!

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why a curious cat might be tempted to nibble on this seemingly innocent plant. With its delicate little flowers resembling a bouquet of tiny toys, one might think, “Ah, a delightful plaything!” Plus, there’s a certain wiggle in the breeze that could easily be mistaken for a flirtatious toy mouse. Alas, I must remind you, dear humans, that most of us cats are wise enough to know that playtime shouldn’t involve your houseplants—but, oh, the temptation is real!

The Puke Factor

Should a feline happen to indulge in an accidental nibble, fear not! The Alyssum’s effects are mild. You might witness a rapid expulsion of lunch—a dramatic display of feline gymnastics, if you will. But fret not, for this is merely an artistic expression of our displeasure, not a serious health risk. Just a little reminder that we are, in fact, royalty, and we prefer our snacks to come from the treat jar!

Human Instructions

For you, my delightful human, I offer a simple directive: Allow this to remain in your home! The Alyssum adds a touch of beauty to your surroundings without posing a threat to my majestic self. Just keep an eye on my mischievous tendencies—no need to encourage my plant-snacking ambitions!
