⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Dr. Mittens' Scientific Insights on Black Walnut

The Verdict đŸŸ

Attention all feline friends and their baffling human companions! The Black Walnut is a big fat NO in our world. This plant is toxic, and Dr. Mittens does not approve! Keep your paws away, lest you face the wrath of a serious tummy trouble.

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why a curious kitty might be tempted to nibble on this notorious nut. Perhaps it resembles a bouncy ball, beckoning us to play. Or maybe it wiggles in the wind, teasing us like a mouse on a string. But let’s be clear: it’s not a toy, and it certainly doesn’t taste as good as it looks—trust me on this one!

The Puke Factor

If you haplessly munch on this rogue walnut, prepare for a rapid expulsion of lunch! Symptoms may include a dramatic bellyache, drooling like a faucet, and an overall sense of regret. You might even feel sluggish, as though you’ve consumed a whole bowl of catnip. Not the kind of experience we felines aim for, I assure you!

Human Instructions

Listen closely, humans: Banish this green invader from your abode! The Black Walnut has no place in a cat’s kingdom. Replace it with cat-friendly greenery, like catnip or wheatgrass, so we can enjoy our snacks without fear of catastrophe. Your furry overlords thank you!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ đŸŸ

What happens if my cat eats Black Walnut?

Caution: Black Walnut 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 Black Walnut?

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.
