Brazil Nut

Bertholletia excelsa

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)

The Verdict 🐾

After extensive research (and a few clandestine nibbles), I, Dr. Mittens, can confidently report that the Brazil Nut is, in fact, safe for human consumption! Yes, my dear humans, while you may scoff at my judgment, I approve of your continued existence with this nut in your pantry. But please, no sharing with us felines—our refined palates demand more than mere nuts!

The Taste Test

Now, why on Earth would a sophisticated feline like myself consider a Brazil Nut for a snack? Allow me to hypothesize: its large, polished exterior bears an uncanny resemblance to a toy! Yes, it rolls enticingly across the floor, inviting a playful pounce. Not to mention, its slightly nutty aroma could spark curiosity—after all, who wouldn't want to investigate a peculiar object that wiggles enticingly when nudged?

The Puke Factor

Should a curious cat (not that I would ever engage in such behavior) consume a Brazil Nut, the consequences may not be as dire as one might fear. While the nut itself is non-toxic, indulging in too much could lead to a rapid expulsion of lunch—let’s call it a “feline food exit strategy.” But fear not, my fellow furry friends, as this scenario is merely hypothetical. We all know how discerning we are with our delicacies.

Human Instructions

Dear human servants, heed my advice: allow this nutty delight to remain in your home, but keep it out of our reach! Your furry overlords prefer a diet rich in fish and chicken, not nutty intruders. Enjoy your Brazil Nuts, and perhaps leave a few more delectable morsels for us to enjoy in the feline kingdom!

Good news! Brazil Nut is generally considered safe according to the Dr. Mittens Fur-mula. While a large amount might cause a mild tummy upset (standard cat logic), it is not toxic.

How can I keep my cat away from Brazil Nut?

Since it's safe, you don't have to worry much, but hanging baskets are a great way to keep your foliage out of "pounce range". Check out these <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=cat+safe+hanging+planters&tag=duriancat-20" target="_blank">cat-safe hanging planters on Amazon</a>.
