Angel's Trumpet

Brugmansia spp.

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Dr. Mittens on Angel's Trumpet

The Verdict 🐾

Attention, humans! I, Dr. Mittens, must declare the Angel's Trumpet a resounding NO for feline consumption. This plant is as toxic as a cat's disdain for a bath! Keep it away from my noble paws, lest I be tempted to swat it around like a rogue toy.

The Taste Test

Now, one might wonder why a curious feline like myself would ever consider this plant. With its drooping, trumpet-like flowers, it bears an uncanny resemblance to a tantalizing toy. Perhaps it wiggles just enough to ignite the playful instincts in us sophisticated cats. But let me remind you, dear humans: just because it looks like fun doesn't mean it won't turn into a regrettable decision!

The Puke Factor

Should any unsuspecting cat nibble on this deceptive flora, prepare for a rapid expulsion of lunch! Symptoms may include a dramatic display of distress, dilated pupils that could rival saucers, and a sense of betrayal that only a feline could muster. Trust me, I’ve seen the aftermath—an unfortunate blend of our dinner making an unexpected encore.

Human Instructions

Now, listen closely, human servants: Banish this green invader from our domain! Keep it in the darkest corner of your garden, far from my curious whiskers. Trust me; your cat will thank you with a purr (and perhaps a little less drama on the floor). Remember, a happy cat is a plant-free cat!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Angel's Trumpet?

Caution: Angel's Trumpet 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's Trumpet?

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.
