Chives

The Verdict 🐾

After thorough investigation, I, Dr. Mittens, declare chives (Allium schoenoprasum) to be in the safe zone! Yes, humans, you can rejoice! This green herb is non-toxic to our feline friends, and I approve of its existence.

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why a cat might be tempted to munch on these green strands. Perhaps it’s the alluring look—long, slender, and wiggly, much like a toy that dangles from a string! Or maybe it’s the enticing scent that wafts through the air, playing tricks on our curious noses. Humans, you really ought to rethink your choice of toys; I could have been entertained for hours!

The Puke Factor

Fortunately, if a cat were to nibble on chives, there wouldn’t be any dramatic episodes of rapid expulsion of lunch. Unlike those nefarious members of the onion family, chives are more like that harmless friend who shows up at the party without causing chaos. So, no need for alarm! Just a minor tickle in our tummies, perhaps, but nothing more than that.

Human Instructions

Dear human servants, you may allow this delightful herb to remain in your kitchens. It adds a splash of green to your meals, and while I may not partake, I appreciate its non-toxic status. Just be sure to keep it out of reach of your culinary adventures—who knows, I might be tempted to play with it instead!
