Corydalis

Corydalis spp.

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME

The Verdict 🐾

Ah, dear humans, gather 'round! I, Dr. Mittens, must inform you that the plant known as Corydalis is decidedly toxic. Yes, you heard me right! This green menace is not fit for feline consumption, and I do not approve. Please remember: just because it looks charming doesn’t mean it’s safe, much like that strange fish you once tried to feed me!

The Taste Test

Now, one might wonder why a discerning feline like myself would even consider giving Corydalis a nibble. Perhaps its delicate, wiggly leaves remind me of a tantalizing toy, or maybe it's the vibrant colors that tickle my curiosity. But let’s be honest, dear humans, that’s no excuse for munching on such a toxic treat! I suggest you keep your paws off this questionable flora!

The Puke Factor

If, in a moment of misguided bravery, you—or worse, a fellow feline—decide to snack on Corydalis, prepare for the rapid expulsion of lunch! Symptoms may include an uncontrollable urge to cough up your previous meal, along with a dash of drooling and a side of lethargy. I must say, that’s not the kind of ā€œgourmetā€ experience I’d recommend. Stick to your kibble, my friends!

Human Instructions

Listen closely, human servants! It’s time to take action against this vile green invader. Banish this plant from your domain immediately! Replace it with something more suitable for us refined felines, like catnip or a good old-fashioned laser pointer. Trust me, your whiskered overlord will thank you!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Corydalis?

Caution: Corydalis is toxic. If your cat has nibbled on it, monitor for symptoms like vomiting, lethargy, or loss of appetite and contact your veterinarian immediately. Do not wait for symptoms to worsen.

How can I keep my cat away from Corydalis?

Banishment is best. If you must keep it, ensure it is in a room the cat cannot access, or use high, unreachable shelves. Alternatively, consider a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=cat+deterrent+spray+for+plants&tag=duriancat-20" target="_blank">cat-safe deterrent spray</a> to protect both your cat and your greenery.
