Dr. Mittens on Cacti

The Verdict 🐾

After thorough investigation (and a few curious sniffs), I, Dr. Mittens, hereby declare the cactus safe for feline companions. Yes, my dear humans, you can breathe a sigh of relief—this prickly plant won’t send us into a tailspin of doom!

The Taste Test

Now, you may wonder why a sophisticated feline like myself would even consider munching on a cactus. Well, let’s face it, the spiky little green thing looks like it could be a fun toy! With its pointy arms reaching out like a playful paw, it’s simply begging for a good batting session. And who doesn’t enjoy a good wiggle now and then? A cat’s curiosity is as endless as nap time, after all!

The Puke Factor

Should a feline friend decide to ignore my sage advice and take a bite, the consequences may not be as dire as a hairball after a 5-course feast, but still! Expect a rather rapid expulsion of lunch—you know, the kind that makes humans recoil in horror! Fortunately, no lasting damage is expected, just a moment of regret and a potential disdain for future prickly encounters.

Human Instructions

To my dear human servants, I say this: Allow this to remain! Let it thrive in its spiky glory, but do keep an eye on your mischievous kitty. After all, we may have our moments of questionable judgment, but let’s not put our innocence to the test. Enjoy the cactus—just don’t let it become a chew toy!


Frequently Asked Questions 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Cactus?

Good news! Cactus 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 Cactus?

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".
