Calamondin Orange

Citrus mitis

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)

The Verdict 🐾

After extensive research conducted during my afternoon nap, I, Dr. Mittens, have determined that the Calamondin Orange is as safe as a sunbeam on a lazy afternoon. Yes, humans, you read that right! This little citrus wonder is non-toxic to us felines, which means I approve. But let’s not get too excited; I’m still judging your choice of houseplants.

The Taste Test

Now, why might a discerning cat like myself contemplate munching on this Calamondin Orange? Well, let’s consider its vibrant, round shape—it looks like the perfect bouncy ball, doesn’t it? And that zesty aroma wafting through the air? It’s practically calling my name! But fear not, dear humans, I’m not about to turn into a fruit-loving feline. My interest lies purely in the toy potential of this citrus orb, not as a snack.

The Puke Factor

If, by some misadventure, a cat were to sample this orange delight, the result would likely be a rapid expulsion of lunch, followed by a look of utter betrayal. “How could you let me?” we would say, while staring at you with our big, innocent eyes. But worry not—there are no harmful ingredients here to worry about, just a few disgusted meows and a possible disdain for your culinary choices.

Human Instructions

To my dear human servants, you may allow this citrus companion to remain in your abode. Just remember, it’s a plant, not a plaything. Otherwise, I might have to assume you’re trying to challenge my authority as the supreme ruler of the household!
