Creeping Jenny

Lysimachia nummularia

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)

The Verdict 🐾

Greetings, fellow felines and curious humans! I am Dr. Mittens, your esteemed Feline Safety Researcher, and I come bearing great news about the plant known as Creeping Jenny. This leafy green is safe! Yes, you heard it right—no need for alarm, my human companions. I am officially approving this plant for your gardens, provided it doesn’t overshadow my sunbathing spot.

The Taste Test

Now, one might ponder: why would a sophisticated feline like myself even consider munching on this plant? Well, Creeping Jenny has a delightful, vibrant appearance that could easily be mistaken for a wiggly toy! Its bright yellow-green leaves tend to dance in the wind, making it all the more enticing. One might think, "Ah, a new plaything!" But alas, my dear humans, it's just greenery—no mice here, I assure you!

The Puke Factor

Fear not, for indulging in a bite (or two) of Creeping Jenny will not result in any alarming symptoms. Unlike some of those nefarious plants that send your lunch on a rapid journey out of your body, Creeping Jenny is as harmless as a feather toy. Should a cat *accidentally* nibble on it, expect nothing more than a perplexed look followed by mild confusion. No rapid expulsion of lunch here—just a curious cat pondering life’s great mysteries.

Human Instructions

To my loyal human servants: Allow this to remain in your garden! Let it flourish alongside my sunbeam. Just remember, it’s not a toy, and I prefer my playthings to be of the squeaky variety. Keep an eye out, but you’re in the clear. Happy gardening, mere mortals!
