Cornflower

The Verdict 🐾

After careful examination of the Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus), I, Dr. Mittens, can confidently declare this plant as safe! Yes, dear humans, you can breathe easy knowing that your feline overlords won’t be harmed by this colorful bloom. I approve of its presence, but let’s keep the attention on the real stars—us cats!

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why a curious cat might find this plant enticing. With its vibrant blue petals, the Cornflower resembles a fancy cat toy—one that simply begs to be batted around! Perhaps it wiggles in the breeze, inviting a playful pounce. I can imagine a scenario: a cat, spotting this delightful flora, thinks, “Is that a snack or a foe?” Spoiler alert: it’s neither, but who could resist the allure?

The Puke Factor

Should a feline engage in an unfortunate nibble of this flower, the outcome is quite benign. Unlike some dastardly greens, the Cornflower won’t cause a rapid expulsion of lunch. Instead, if you do find your regal pet indulging, prepare for some mild tummy grumbles, but nothing more sinister. So, no need for alarm bells—just keep an eye on the snack-stealing mischief!

Human Instructions

To my human servants: you may allow the Cornflower to remain in your kingdom. It is a harmless addition to your garden, and it might just entertain your feline overlord. Just remember, if you see me giving it the side-eye, it’s probably because I’m wondering why it hasn’t been turned into a toy yet!
