Confederate Jasmine

Trachelospermum jasminoides

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)
Dr. Mittens on Confederate Jasmine

The Verdict 🐾

Fear not, dear felines and their human overlords! The Confederate Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides) is safe for our curious paws and twitchy whiskers. As Dr. Mittens, I hereby approve this plant for your home, though I must say, The Humans could use a little more education on their plant choices.

The Taste Test

Why might a discerning cat like myself be tempted to nibble on this green delight? Well, let’s be honest: it dangles like the most enticing cat toy, with those lovely, twisting vines calling out to my adventurous spirit. And let’s not forget the scent! It’s like a siren song for my keen feline nose, whispering sweet nothings of playtime and mischief. If I were to indulge, I might be looking for a delightful game of "Catch That Leaf!"

The Puke Factor

Should you, in a moment of whimsical curiosity, decide to munch on this plant, fret not! The worst that could happen is a rapid expulsion of lunch—your human might call it vomiting, but I prefer the term "feline fountain." Thankfully, the only thing you might experience is a mild tummy grumble, unlike the time I mistook a rubber band for a snack. But let's keep our nibbling to the catnip, shall we?

Human Instructions

To my human subjects: you may allow this lovely plant to remain in your abode. It’s non-toxic and adds a touch of elegance to your home. Just remember, it’s not for snacking—leave that to us cats who know what's truly delightful!
