The Verdict 🐾
Ah, the Cotoneaster. A plant that makes The Humans squawk with joy and me roll my eyes. Good news for my feline friends: it’s as safe as a sunbeam on a lazy afternoon. Yes, you heard it right! Dr. Mittens approves this plant for your home. No need to banish it to the great outdoors—this green marvel has earned its keep!
The Taste Test
Now, one might wonder why a sophisticated feline like myself would even contemplate nibbling on this shrub. It’s not because of a sudden urge to become a garden gnome, I assure you. The Cotoneaster has a rather appealing texture, with its small, round berries that resemble delightful little balls of temptation. Perhaps they remind us of those pesky toy mice The Humans insist on purchasing (only to watch me ignore them). Or maybe, just maybe, they wiggle in the breeze like an elusive feather. Who could resist a nibble?
The Puke Factor
Fear not, dear whiskered companions! Should you take a nibble (for scientific research, of course), you won’t experience any rapid expulsion of lunch. Unlike some of those dastardly plants The Humans keep around, the Cotoneaster is merely a harmless snack, presenting no threat of tummy turmoil. You can prance around the garden without fear of an unexpected green spew!
Human Instructions
To my beloved Human servants: fear not the Cotoneaster! Instead, allow this green beauty to remain in your abode. It’s a safe zone for both paws and feet. Just remember, while it’s a fine addition to your plant collection, I still expect my daily serving of tuna, thank you very much!
