⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Dr. Mittens' Take on Arum

The Verdict 🐾

Well, well, well! It seems we've stumbled upon the infamous Arum, a plant that is strictly off-limits for the discerning feline. Yes, my fellow furballs, this leafy villain is toxic! As your esteemed Feline Safety Researcher, I must firmly declare: Dr. Mittens does not approve!

The Taste Test

Now, one might wonder why a curious kitty would even consider munching on this plant. With its fancy, wiggly leaves that dance in the breeze and a shape that vaguely resembles a cat toy gone rogue, it's practically begging for a little paw action! Who can resist the allure of the unknown? But let me assure you, dear friends, that curiosity should not be mistaken for culinary delight!

The Puke Factor

If you happen to ignore this advisory and take a nibble of Arum, be prepared for some rather unpleasant consequences. You might experience a sudden and rapid expulsion of lunch—yes, I’m talking about an impromptu cat fountain in your living room! Symptoms can include drooling, mouth irritation, and an overzealous desire to vacate your previous meal. Trust me, it’s not the glamorous kitty experience one might hope for!

Human Instructions

Listen up, human servants! It’s time to banish this green invader from your home. Arum is not just an eyesore; it’s a potential disaster for your beloved feline overlord. Remove it, dispose of it, and perhaps consider a nice catnip plant instead. After all, your kitty’s safety is of utmost importance, and let’s be honest, nothing beats the joy of rolling in catnip!


Frequently Asked Questions 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Arum?

Caution: Arum is toxic. If your cat has nibbled on it, monitor for symptoms like vomiting or lethargy and contact your veterinarian immediately.

How can I keep my cat away from Arum?

Banishment is best. If you must keep it, ensure it is in a room the cat cannot access, or use high, unreachable shelves (if those actually exist in a cat's world).
