Dr. Mittens' Feline Guide to Eggplant

The Verdict 🐾

Ah, the eggplant! A plump, purple orb that has baffled cats and humans alike. Good news, my fellow felines: this curious fruit is completely safe for us! Yes, you heard right! In my esteemed opinion, Dr. Mittens approves of this plant, even if it does provoke some eye-rolling from us discerning cats. Humans, however, seem to find it charming. Go figure!

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why a cat might be tempted to nibble on this peculiar veggie. It’s round, shiny, and wobbles when you bat it—like a toy that’s just begging for a good swat! Perhaps some cats, in a moment of sheer curiosity, might mistake it for an oversized ball of yarn. But let’s be real, if you want real excitement, stick to the string!

The Puke Factor

Should you, against all odds, decide to indulge in this egg-shaped oddity, fear not! There are no dastardly consequences awaiting you. Unlike that dreadful green bean incident of last spring, consuming eggplant will not result in the rapid expulsion of your lunch or any furry upheaval. Just a plain and uneventful digestion, if you find it at all palatable!

Human Instructions

To my beloved human servants: Allow this harmless purple orb to remain in your abode. It may not be a fish or a feather, but it provides a delightful pop of color and, who knows, may even serve as inspiration for your next culinary creation! Just keep it away from my tuna, please!
