Brussels Sprouts

Brassica oleracea var. gemmifera

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)

The Verdict 🐾

After rigorous and highly scientific research (a thorough paw-tapping of Brussels sprouts), I, Dr. Mittens, hereby declare this green orb of human cuisine completely safe for your average human and feline alike. Yes, I approve—though I must say, it’s a bit perplexing why humans would choose to eat something that looks like a toy found in the bottom of the litter box.

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why a curious cat might find these mini cabbages appealing. First of all, they roll! Yes, they wiggle and roll about on the floor like a delightful little plaything. One might even suspect that they’re designed to entice us into a game of “catch the veggie.” And let’s face it, anything that resembles a ball should warrant at least a nibble—until you realize it doesn’t squeak.

The Puke Factor

If a cat were to indulge in these little green spheres, the potential consequences could be amusing. I would anticipate a rapid expulsion of lunch, perhaps followed by a dramatic retreat to a sunny spot for recovery. Symptoms may include a mere flick of the tail and an exaggerated yawn of discontent. But fear not! This isn’t a toxic affair; it’s merely an unpleasant experience that could lead to a sudden desire to chase laser pointers instead.

Human Instructions

To my dear human servants, I advise you to allow this to remain in your kitchen. While these Brussels sprouts may not be our preferred snack (give me tuna any day!), they pose no threat to your health—or mine. Just remember to keep the catnip at the forefront of your culinary offerings!
