Baby Tears

Soleirolia soleirolii

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)

The Verdict 🐾

Attention, esteemed bipedal beings! After thorough investigation, I, Dr. Mittens, have concluded that the plant commonly known as Baby Tears is as safe as a sunbeam on a winter day. Yes, you heard it right! No need to panic, my dear humans. I approve this plant for your indoor jungles. Just don’t expect me to be impressed; I still prefer your shoelaces.

The Taste Test

Now, why would a sophisticated feline like myself be tempted to nibble on Baby Tears? Well, for starters, it resembles a delightful green toy! Those tiny, round leaves glisten like little jewels, and one might think they’d jiggle invitingly in the breeze. Do they wiggle? Not really. But who can resist the allure of something that looks like it could be chewed upon while plotting world domination? Not I!

The Puke Factor

Should a curious cat decide to indulge in these leafy delights, fear not! The consequences are minimal. You might witness a rapid expulsion of lunch, but that’s just my way of saying, “Excuse me, I’m too refined for such frivolity!” Rest assured, should you observe this phenomenon, it’s merely a dramatic display of displeasure. No need to call the vet; just offer a few extra chin scratches to compensate.

Human Instructions

Dear humans, you may allow this charming plant to remain in your abode. It’s safe for your feline overlords, and I must say, it adds a touch of greenery to your otherwise dull existence. Just keep it away from my shoelaces, and we shall coexist harmoniously!
