Bridal Veil

Tradescantia fluminensis

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Dr. Mittens on Bridal Veil

Bridal Veil: A Green Menace or a Feline Delight?

The Verdict 🐾

Attention, fellow felines and our often misguided human companions: the Bridal Veil plant (scientific name: Chlorophytum comosum) is indeed toxic! Yes, you heard it right—this leafy green is not just an innocent decoration. Dr. Mittens does not approve of this green intruder lurking in your home.

The Taste Test

Now, I can hear you thinking, "Why would a sophisticated feline like myself be tempted to nibble on this supposedly toxic plant?" Well, my dear furry friends, it dangles like a string toy, swaying gently as if inviting us to pounce! Its long, lacy leaves may look like a delightful snack, or perhaps a fancy feather to bat around. But heed my warning: this is no plaything!

The Puke Factor

If you happen to misjudge this plant's intentions and take a bite, prepare for the rapid expulsion of lunch! Symptoms include an upset tummy, excessive drooling, and a look of regret that could only be interpreted as “What was I thinking?” Remember, my dear comrades, it can leave you feeling quite unwell, and trust me, no cat wants to be stuck in the litter box after a bad decision.

Human Instructions

To my human servants: banish this green invader immediately! Your feline overlord does not need a toxic plant ruining our royal lives. Replace it with catnip or harmless greenery that celebrates our sophistication rather than jeopardizes it!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Bridal Veil?

Caution: Bridal Veil 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 Bridal Veil?

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.
