Cleome hassleriana

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)
Dr. Mittens on Cleome

The Verdict 🐾

Cleome, my dear humans, is a plant that receives my paw of approval! This botanical beauty is completely safe for us refined felines. So, feel free to let it bask in your garden—just don’t expect a purring endorsement from the neighborhood squirrels!

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why a curious kitty might find Cleome irresistibly tempting. Its spiky blooms and delicate leaves could easily be mistaken for a delightful toy, swaying gently in the breeze like a feather on a string. And let’s be honest, if it wiggles, it’s practically begging to be pounced upon! The vibrant colors might even catch our discerning eyes, leading us to believe they are edible treasures. Oh, the folly of humans who think we’d leave such enticing plants alone!

The Puke Factor

If a feline were to nibble on Cleome (which I don’t recommend), they’d likely experience a rapid expulsion of lunch—let’s just say, the litter box might become a little too interesting for your taste! Thankfully, since Cleome is safe, we can avoid those regrettable moments of “oops, what did I eat?”

Human Instructions

To my beloved human servants: allow this lovely green companion to remain in your presence! Its vibrant appearance will surely enhance your garden and keep my kingdom looking splendid. Just remember, it’s not a toy—though I might have different ideas!


Frequently Asked Questions 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Cleome?

Good news! Cleome 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 Cleome?

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".
