Ambrosia

Ambrosia spp.

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Dr. Mittens on Ambrosia

The Verdict 🐾

Drumroll, please! The plant known as Ambrosia is officially toxic. Yes, you heard that right, dear humans—this is not a delectable dish fit for your feline friends! As your esteemed Feline Safety Researcher, I must firmly advise against any catnip-fueled curiosity regarding this plant. Consider it banned from the kitty kingdom!

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why a curious kitty might be tempted to take a nibble of this nefarious greenery. Perhaps it resembles a wiggly toy, taunting us with its vibrant leaves? Or maybe it emits an alluring scent that tickles our whiskers? Let’s face it; we cats have a penchant for investigating anything that looks remotely entertaining—or edible. But trust me, this plant is not a new flavor of cat treat. No, no, no!

The Puke Factor

If you happen to ignore my wise meows and indulge in a taste of Ambrosia, prepare for some serious consequences! Symptoms may include rapid expulsion of lunch (that’s fancy talk for vomiting), excessive drooling (perfect for creating a puddle), and a general feeling of feline malaise. Your once-proud pouncer will be reduced to a mere shadow of their former self—trust me, it’s not pretty!

Human Instructions

Attention, human servants: it’s time to take action! Banish this green invader from your home and ensure that your feline overlords remain safe and sound. Replace it with something far more suitable, like a cozy blanket or a laser pointer. Your cats will thank you—with purrs, of course!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Ambrosia?

Caution: Ambrosia 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 Ambrosia?

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.
