Calla

Zantedeschia spp.

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Dr. Mittens on Calla Plants

The Verdict 🐾

Attention, esteemed humans! The Calla plant, with its elegant curves and glossy leaves, is a toxic green menace! Yes, you heard that right. This lovely flora is not for feline consumption, and I, Dr. Mittens, do NOT approve. Keep it away from your precious paws!

The Taste Test

Now, you might wonder why a sophisticated feline like myself would ponder the deliciousness of this verdant intruder. Perhaps it’s the way the Calla’s creamy blooms resemble a fancy toy, or maybe its leaves wiggle enticingly in the breeze, begging for attention. To a curious kitty, this could easily translate to “plaything” or “snack,” which is a grave misconception, dear humans!

The Puke Factor

Should you disregard my wise warnings and allow your feline friend to munch on this plant, you can expect the rapid expulsion of lunch! Yes, that’s right—your beloved kitty may experience irritation, drooling, and a delightful bout of tummy trouble that’ll send them running for the litter box. Not exactly the elegant exit one might hope for!

Human Instructions

Listen up, human servants! Banish this green invader from your home! The Calla’s beauty is no match for the potential chaos it brings to our feline lives. Replace it with something safe, like catnip or a robust scratching post. Your kitty will thank you (and so will the carpet)!


Frequently Asked Questions 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Calla?

Caution: Calla is toxic. If your cat has nibbled on it, monitor for symptoms like vomiting or lethargy and contact your veterinarian immediately.

How can I keep my cat away from Calla?

Banishment is best. If you must keep it, ensure it is in a room the cat cannot access, or use high, unreachable shelves (if those actually exist in a cat's world).
