Catmint

Nepeta mussinii

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)

The Verdict 🐾

Ah, Catmint! The green delight that has stumped The Humans for centuries. Fear not, dear felines, for I, Dr. Mittens, declare this plant to be safe for your consumption. Yes, you heard it right—safe! This means I approve of its presence in your domain. So go ahead, take a whiff, or perhaps a nibble. Just don’t let The Humans catch you. They tend to overreact.

The Taste Test

Now, why would a sophisticated feline like myself be tempted to munch on this leafy marvel? Well, Catmint delights the senses! Its soft, fuzzy leaves resemble a plush toy made just for me, and the tantalizing scent wafts through the air like an invitation to a catnip party. It wiggles when the breeze hits it, almost daring me to pounce. Who could resist? I mean, if it looks like a toy and smells like fun, it must be good, right?

The Puke Factor

However, as a responsible scientist, I must inform you about the potential consequences of indulging in this verdant snack. If consumed in excess, you might experience a rapid expulsion of lunch—yes, I'm talking about the kind of “surprise” that leaves a mess for The Humans to clean up. The symptoms may include a sudden urge to revisit that delightful tuna you had earlier. But worry not; this is a harmless reaction—a mere “oopsie” in the pursuit of feline happiness!

Human Instructions

To my fellow humans, I advise you to allow this lovely green delight to remain in your home. Don’t be a party pooper! Catmint is not a toxic foe but a delightful friend to your furry overlords. Just ensure it’s within paw's reach for those spontaneous munching moments! Happy gardening!


Frequently Asked Questions 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Catmint?

Good news! Catmint 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 Catmint?

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".
