Comfrey

Symphytum officinale

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Dr. Mittens on Comfrey

The Verdict 🐾

Attention, my fellow felines and their oblivious human companions! The verdict on the plant known as Comfrey is clear: Toxic. Yes, you heard me right. This leafy menace is not a snack but a potential peril. As the esteemed Dr. Mittens, I must emphatically advise you to keep this botanical booby trap out of paw’s reach. So, no, I do not approve!

The Taste Test

Now, one might ponder why a curious cat, like yours truly, would even consider munching on this green fiend. Perhaps it’s the vibrant leaves that resemble a tantalizing toy or the way they sway enticingly in the breeze, making them look like they’re dancing just for us! Or maybe it’s that irresistible urge to investigate every intriguing thing that crosses our path. Spoiler alert: Not everything is meant to be tasted!

The Puke Factor

Should you find yourself in a regrettable situation where Comfrey has been consumed, brace yourself for the rapid expulsion of lunch. Yes, dear humans, we’re talking about a spectacular display of upchucking! Symptoms may include a sudden bout of bellyache, drooling like a fountain, and a general sense of “why did I ever think this was a good idea?”

Human Instructions

Now, listen closely, my human servants: Banish this green invader from your home! A plant that can turn your feline friend into a projectile of partially digested food is not a welcome guest. Toss it out and let us stick to our preferred delicacies—like the occasional treat or that delightful fish-flavored morsel you keep hidden on the top shelf!


Frequently Asked Questions 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Comfrey?

Caution: Comfrey is toxic. If your cat has nibbled on it, monitor for symptoms like vomiting or lethargy and contact your veterinarian immediately.

How can I keep my cat away from Comfrey?

Banishment is best. If you must keep it, ensure it is in a room the cat cannot access, or use high, unreachable shelves (if those actually exist in a cat's world).
