Cereus: A Cat's Take on This Prickly Plant

The Verdict đŸŸ

Ah, the Cereus! A plant that is as safe as a warm sunbeam on a lazy afternoon. Yes, my dear human servants, you can rest easy. This succulent spiky wonder is non-toxic, and I, Dr. Mittens, wholeheartedly approve of its presence in your humble abode. Just keep it out of my reach, will you? I’ve got some serious investigating to do.

The Taste Test

Now, why might a curious feline like myself be tempted to munch on this cactus-like creature? Let’s be real: it looks like a giant green toy! With its intriguing shape and tantalizing spines, it practically calls out to my inner hunter. And if it wobbles in the breeze, well, that’s just too much for my feline instincts to resist! Plus, who doesn’t enjoy a good nibble on something that resembles a spiky plaything?

The Puke Factor

Fear not, my dear human friends! The Cereus won’t induce any rapid expulsion of lunch. In fact, if you were to accidentally chew on a leaf (not that I’d ever do such a thing), your only “symptoms” would likely be a confused look on your face and perhaps an urge to stick to your kibble. No drama here, just a mild case of "what was I thinking?"

Human Instructions

Since this green neighbor is safe, I advise you to allow this to remain in your home. Just do me a favor and don’t let it overshadow my favorite sunning spot. I need my beauty rest to conduct further important cat research, after all!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ đŸŸ

What happens if my cat eats Cereus?

Good news! Cereus is generally considered safe according to the Dr. Mittens Fur-mula. 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 Cereus?

Since it's safe, you don't have to worry much, but hanging baskets are a great way to keep your foliage out of "pounce range". Check out these <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=cat+safe+hanging+planters&tag=duriancat-20" target="_blank">cat-safe hanging planters on Amazon</a>.
