Dr. Mittens on Amaranth

The Verdict 🐾

Fellow felines and their bewildered humans, let it be known: Amaranth is a safe plant! Yes, it's true! This green delight gets my furry seal of approval. So, worry not, my human servants; you may continue to cultivate this verdant wonder without fear of your beloved cats turning into furry fountains of doom.

The Taste Test

Now, why would a discerning feline like myself be tempted to nibble on this plant? For starters, Amaranth boasts a delightful wiggly quality that might just trick my predatory instincts into thinking it's a particularly playful toy! The way those leaves flutter in the breeze? Pure catnip for the eye! And let’s not forget that it has a certain green, leafy appeal that might remind us of the fresh green grass we adore to roll on. Who can resist a little taste test when it looks like a fun adventure?

The Puke Factor

But let’s be real, my fellow whiskered companions: should we happen to indulge in a little too much of this leafy treat, our humans might witness a rapid expulsion of lunch, possibly accompanied by an anguished expression of betrayal. Fear not, though! Amaranth isn’t a villain in our tales. You might experience a slight tummy rumble, but nothing that would send you into a dramatic panic. Just a gentle reminder that moderation is key, even for the most refined palates!

Human Instructions

Attention, human servants! Since Amaranth is indeed safe, I bestow upon you the great honor of allowing this plant to remain in your domain. Nurture it, water it, and perhaps, just perhaps, offer a leaf or two to your curious kitty. Who knows? You might just discover a newfound bond over this leafy delight. Just remember, no need to overindulge—you’re not a cat!


Frequently Asked Questions 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Amaranth?

Good news! Amaranth 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 Amaranth?

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".
