Clove

Syzygium aromaticum

āœ“ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)
Dr. Mittens on Clove

The Verdict 🐾

Clove, my dear humans, is a plant that’s as safe as a sunny windowsill on a lazy afternoon. Yes, you heard it right! This aromatic spice is entirely non-toxic to us feline connoisseurs. Dr. Mittens approves this one—so feel free to sprinkle it on your food, but keep your paws off my tuna!

The Taste Test

Now, why might a curious cat like myself consider nibbling on clove? Well, it has that intriguing, knobby appearance that resembles a tiny, wiggly toy! And let’s be honest, anything that looks like it could be a fun chew toy deserves a taste test. Plus, the enticing aroma wafting through the air might just spark our natural curiosity. Are you really surprised? We cats are experts at investigating anything that smells interesting, even if it’s just your fancy cooking!

The Puke Factor

In the unlikely event that a cat does decide to indulge in clove, fear not! The results won’t involve a dramatic scene of ā€œrapid expulsion of lunch.ā€ While clove is safe, it’s not exactly a feline favorite and might lead to some mild tummy rumblings or a confused look on your face, wondering why I’m suddenly uninterested in my dinner. Still, I’d recommend sticking to the good stuff—like tuna!

Human Instructions

For my human servants, I have but one instruction: allow this aromatic delight to remain in your spice cabinet! Just don’t expect me to join you in a clove-flavored culinary adventure. We cats have our priorities straight, and clove isn’t one of them!
