Candytuft

Iberis sempervirens

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)

The Verdict 🐾

Ah, the delightful Candytuft! After thorough investigation and several rigorous naps, I, Dr. Mittens, can confidently state that this plant is safe for both humans and their feline overlords. I approve! However, dear humans, this does not mean you should start decorating your homes with it like it's some sort of trophy. Remember, just because it’s safe doesn’t mean it’s particularly interesting.

The Taste Test

Now, why on earth would a discerning cat like me consider nibbling on this green delight? One might hypothesize that its gentle, leafy appearance could resemble a toy—perhaps a small, unfortunate critter that got too close! Or maybe it has an alluring scent that tempts us curious kitties. Alas, I suspect it’s simply because we cats enjoy the thrill of uncertainty. What will this delightful green thing do if I pounce? Will it wiggle? Spoiler alert: it does not wiggle.

The Puke Factor

Fear not, fellow feline aficionados! Should your human servant find you indulging in a bit too much Candytuft, the repercussions are mild. You might experience a rapid expulsion of lunch—a fancy way of saying you’ll hurl your last meal across the room. But don’t worry; nothing catastrophic will come of it! Just a brief moment of humiliation for your human and a chance for you to pretend it was all part of the plan.

Human Instructions

Dear humans, since Candytuft is safe, I advise you to allow this lovely green plant to remain in your abode. Just don’t expect me to be impressed. It’s no catnip, after all! But if it brings you joy while I supervise from my perch, then so be it!
