⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Dr. Mittens on Angel Wings

The Verdict 🐾

Attention all humans! The esteemed Dr. Mittens has conducted a thorough examination of the so-called "Angel Wings" plant, and I must declare it a toxic travesty! This leafy menace is not just a pretty face; it harbors dangers that could send even the most sophisticated feline into a tailspin. Therefore, I do not approve of this green invader. Banish it!

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why a curious kitty might be drawn to this plant. With its lush, heart-shaped leaves, Angel Wings could easily be mistaken for the plush toys you humans dangle before us. They whisper, “Play with me!” as they flutter enticingly in the breeze. Who could resist a wiggly green thing that looks like it could be a perfect addition to our toy collection? Alas, it's not a toy but a treacherous trap!

The Puke Factor

If, by some unfortunate chance, a cat decides to sample this plant, the consequences will be dire. Expect a rapid expulsion of lunch, accompanied by a delightful array of stomach grumbles and a look of regret that would make even the most stoic feline cringe. Symptoms may include drooling, lethargy, and a general air of feline discontent. Not exactly the gourmet adventure we were hoping for!

Human Instructions

Dear human servants, heed my advice: banish this green invader from your home! Keep it far from our curious paws and whiskers. Trust me, your furry overlord will thank you with gentle headbutts and purrs of gratitude—far better than a cat recovering from a gastronomical misadventure!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Angel Wings?

Caution: Angel Wings 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 Angel Wings?

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.
