⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Cycad: A Feline Scientist's Take

The Verdict 🐾

Listen up, humans! The Cycad, that so-called "exotic beauty," is a toxic fiend in disguise. One whiff of its green glory and I can tell you, Dr. Mittens does NOT approve. Keep your paws off this perilous plant!

The Taste Test

Now, you might wonder why a discerning feline like myself would even consider a nibble of the Cycad. It’s got that delightful, spiky appearance, almost like a toy waiting to be pounced upon! And those feathery leaves? They wiggle and dance in the wind, practically begging for my attention. But trust me, dear humans, this is NOT the kind of 'snack' that would make a good mealtime adventure!

The Puke Factor

If by some unfortunate miscalculation a kitty were to chow down on this toxic plant, the aftermath would be nothing short of catastrophic. Expect a rapid expulsion of lunch—think of it as a cat-themed fireworks show, complete with dramatic flair and a not-so-pleasant clean-up! Symptoms might include drooling, lethargy, and the oh-so-charming inability to keep food down.

Human Instructions

Attention, human servants! Banish this green invader from your home immediately! The Cycad has no place in a cat-friendly environment. If you truly care for your feline overlords, let this toxic terror find a new home—preferably far, far away from our paws!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Cycad?

Caution: Cycad 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 Cycad?

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.
