The Verdict 🐾
After extensive research conducted from my sunlit perch on the windowsill, I, Dr. Mittens, hereby declare the Crabapple (Malus spp.) a most agreeable plant! Its toxicity status is decidedly safe for us noble felines. Yes, dear humans, you can breathe easy; I approve this lovely little tree for your gardens. Not that your judgment is ever quite up to par with mine, but let’s not dwell on that.
The Taste Test
Why, you ask, would a discerning feline like myself be tempted to nibble on this fruit? Well, for starters, the Crabapple looks rather like a toy to my keen eyes—small, round, and brightly colored! The way it dangles from the branches makes it look like a delightful plaything, just begging to be swatted. Besides, I hear it’s a bit of a culinary curiosity among humans, so perhaps it sparks my curiosity too. But let’s be honest—I’m more interested in the thrill of the chase than the taste!
The Puke Factor
Should a curious kitty decide to indulge in a Crabapple, fear not, as there’s little to worry about. The most dramatic consequence would be a rapid expulsion of lunch—yes, that’s right, the Crabapple is not a notorious troublemaker. You might experience a brief moment of “uh-oh,” but you’ll be back to your mischievous self in no time. No dramatic side effects, just a potential for a little extra cleaning duty for your humans!
Human Instructions
For my human servants, I have but one instruction: Allow this delightful little tree to remain! It poses no threat to your feline overlords, and who knows? Maybe one day I will deign to investigate its charms. Until then, it’s a perfectly safe addition to your garden. Just don’t forget to provide ample fresh tuna as a reward for my scientific efforts!
