Century Plant

Agave americana

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME

The Verdict 🐾

Well, well, well, my dear humans, gather 'round as I, Dr. Mittens, deliver the verdict on the infamous Century Plant. Spoiler alert: It’s toxic! Yes, this prickly green invader is not only unappetizing but also a danger to our delicate feline systems. As your esteemed Feline Safety Researcher, I must emphatically disapprove of this botanical menace lurking in your home.

The Taste Test

Now, I can understand why some curious cats might be tempted to nibble on the spiky leaves of the Century Plant. With its tall stature and dramatic rosette shape, it resembles a splendid cat toy waving in the breeze! Plus, the way those leaves sway might just pique our interest—does it wiggle? Is it alive? Alas, dear felines, it’s not a toy, but rather a trap designed to ensnare the unsuspecting!

The Puke Factor

Should a brave (or foolish) kitty take a chomp out of this green fiend, the consequences won’t be pretty. Symptoms may include an unfortunate and rapid expulsion of lunch, accompanied by excessive drooling, lethargy, and a general sense of regret, reminiscent of when I accidentally knocked over the water bowl. Remember, it’s not just an innocent snack; it’s a recipe for feline distress!

Human Instructions

Alright, humans, listen closely. It’s time to take action—banish this green invader to protect your precious furball. Remove the Century Plant from your domain immediately. Your cat’s well-being depends on it! And if you ever think about getting another one, just remember: Dr. Mittens does not approve!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Century Plant?

Caution: Century Plant is toxic. If your cat has nibbled on it, monitor for symptoms like vomiting, lethargy, or loss of appetite and contact your veterinarian immediately. Do not wait for symptoms to worsen.

How can I keep my cat away from Century Plant?

Banishment is best. If you must keep it, ensure it is in a room the cat cannot access, or use high, unreachable shelves. Alternatively, consider a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=cat+deterrent+spray+for+plants&tag=duriancat-20" target="_blank">cat-safe deterrent spray</a> to protect both your cat and your greenery.
