The Verdict 🐾

Attention, fellow felines and baffled humans! After thorough investigation, I, Dr. Mittens, declare Catbriar to be safe for our discerning palettes. Yes, you heard it right! No toxic shenanigans here—this plant gets my official paw of approval. Humans, take note: not everything green is out to get you (or us).

The Taste Test

Now, why would a cat like me be tempted to nibble on Catbriar? Well, for starters, its long, slender leaves resemble the tantalizing tails of unsuspecting toys—just begging to be pounced upon! Plus, if it wiggles in the breeze, how could one resist a playful chomp? It’s practically an invitation to a delightful snack—or an impromptu wrestling match. Honestly, humans, you really need to learn how to appreciate the finer things in life.

The Puke Factor

Fear not, dear companions! Should you decide to indulge in this leafy treat, you won’t face the dreaded “rapid expulsion of lunch.” In fact, munching on Catbriar may lead to nothing more than a satisfied purr and a gentle roll on the floor. It’s like a gourmet meal without the risk of a catastrophic bellyache! A true win-win for the feline connoisseur.

Human Instructions

So, my human friends, what’s the verdict? Allow this delightful green companion to remain in your home. It’s a safe addition to your feline’s plant collection. Just make sure to avoid letting it grow too wild—after all, we wouldn’t want it to steal the spotlight from your favorite scratching post!
