Coriandrum sativum

The Feline Perspective on Coriander

The Verdict 🐾

Behold, my dear human companions! Coriander, that aromatic green herb you toss into your cooking, is deemed safe for feline consumption. Yes, you heard it right! I, Dr. Mittens, approve of this leafy delight. But don't let your excitement get the best of you—I'm not saying it's a gourmet meal for your discerning palate!

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why a curious cat like myself might be tempted to nibble on this herb. It has a slightly fuzzy texture that could easily be mistaken for a wiggly toy. And the scent? Oh, the scent! It wafts through the air like a siren call, making me wonder if I might find a hidden treasure within those leaves. Alas, my taste buds may disappoint, but the chase is half the fun, right?

The Puke Factor

In the unlikely event that a cat like me ingests this herb, one might expect a rapid expulsion of lunch—a.k.a. a rather dramatic performance of "The Great Hairball Tango." But fear not, my feline friends! Coriander is gentle on our delicate systems, and you’ll likely just experience a moment of confusion rather than a catastrophic culinary crisis.

Human Instructions

Oh humans, listen closely! Since coriander is a kind herb, allow it to remain in your herbal collection. Just keep your precious cooking away from my paws and let me continue my noble pursuit of the elusive red dot. Coriander may not be a trophy, but it's not an enemy either!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Coriander?

Good news! Coriander is generally considered safe according to the Dr. Mittens Fur-mula. 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 Coriander?

Since it's safe, you don't have to worry much, but hanging baskets are a great way to keep your foliage out of "pounce range". Check out these <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=cat+safe+hanging+planters&tag=duriancat-20" target="_blank">cat-safe hanging planters on Amazon</a>.
