Bay Laurel

Laurus nobilis

āœ“ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)
Dr. Mittens on Bay Laurel

The Verdict 🐾

Good news, my dear humans! The Bay Laurel plant (Laurus nobilis) is as safe as a sunbeam on a cozy afternoon. Yes, I, Dr. Mittens, fully approve of your culinary herb garden’s inclusion of this leafy friend. Just don’t expect me to share your pasta!

The Taste Test

Now, why might a discerning feline consider munching on Bay Laurel? I hypothesize it’s all about the aesthetics! Those shiny, green leaves resemble the best of my toys – they flutter in the breeze and beckon with their alluring scent. Of course, there’s also the allure of a forbidden snack, but let’s just keep that between us, shall we?

The Puke Factor

Fear not, brave humans! The Bay Laurel won’t lead to any rapid expulsions of lunch. Should one of us majestic felines accidentally nibble on a leaf or two, we might experience a mild stomach grumble, but nothing that would send us running for the litter box in horror. So, no need for frantic cleaning – unless, of course, I decide to knock over your favorite plant in protest.

Human Instructions

As your ever-judging cat overlord, I decree: Allow this green invader to remain! Just make sure it’s out of my pouncing range, and remember, it’s not for snacking – that’s what your unappreciative catnip is for!
