The Verdict 🐾
After extensive research involving rigorous sniffing and a few nibbles (for science, of course), I, Dr. Mittens, have concluded that the currant is indeed safe for our human companions. I, however, do not approve of their culinary choices. Seriously, humans, currants? You could have chosen tuna-flavored anything!
The Taste Test
Now, if I were to speculate why a cat might find currants intriguing, one could argue about the sheer roundness of those little berries. They’re almost like tiny, edible balls of mischief! Furthermore, their shiny surface could easily be mistaken for a particularly appealing toy. One might also think they wiggle, but alas, they do not. A cat can dream, right?
The Puke Factor
Although currants are safe, it’s important to note that indulging in a handful could lead to what I like to call a "rapid expulsion of lunch." This could manifest as a rather dramatic display of, shall we say, a regurgitation performance art piece. Humans, you may want to keep your eyes peeled for the aftermath of such an event—shiny, squishy little balls rolling around haphazardly in the aftermath!
Human Instructions
Dear human servants, you can allow this to remain in your homes without fear. But please, do not mistake currants for cat toys or snacks. If you must indulge, do so away from my royal presence. Remember, I’m the one with the discerning palate here!
