Broccoli

Brassica oleracea var. italica

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)

The Verdict 🐾

Dear humans, rejoice! The green tree-like structure known as broccoli has received my esteemed approval as a safe veggie. Yes, you heard me right! While I, Dr. Mittens, the distinguished Feline Safety Researcher, cannot fathom why you would munch on such a crunchy green thing, I must declare: broccoli is not toxic. So feel free to keep it around—just don't expect me to join you for dinner!

The Taste Test

Now, let's dissect this peculiar plant. Broccoli resembles tiny trees, and who wouldn’t want to nibble on a miniature forest? It’s almost as if it’s a plush toy, just waiting to be batted around! However, I suspect humans eat it for its crunchiness and slightly bitter flavor, which, let’s be honest, sounds like a catnip-free nightmare. The only wiggle it has is when you steam it—hardly the allure of a wiggly worm!

The Puke Factor

Should a curious cat decide to sample this bizarre plant, the results may be less than desirable. If you happen to witness a rapid expulsion of lunch, consider it broccoli's way of saying, “No, thank you!” While I may appreciate a good hairball now and then, I draw the line at this green intruder. You might also notice a rather displeased face from your feline friend—believe me, it’s not pretty!

Human Instructions

For my beloved human servants, I advise: allow this veggie to remain in your abode, as it's as safe as a cat on a sunny windowsill. However, keep it out of my paws unless you want to experience the dreaded “rapid expulsion of lunch.” Your call!


Frequently Asked Questions 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Broccoli?

Good news! Broccoli is generally considered safe. 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 Broccoli?

Since it's safe, you don't have to worry much, but hanging baskets are a great way to keep your foliage out of "nibble range".
