Epiphyllum

Epiphyllum spp.

āœ“ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)

The Verdict 🐾

After rigorous paw-sitive investigation, I, Dr. Mittens, declare the Epiphyllum plant a safe companion for your home. Yes, fellow feline friends, you may now lounge in peace without the fear of this plant causing any harm. I approve—albeit with a raised eyebrow at the humans for choosing such a peculiar leafy friend instead of, say, a good ol’ catnip patch!

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why any curious kitty might feel compelled to munch on this plant. Epiphyllum, with its flat, succulent pads and vibrant blooms, might just resemble a newfangled toy! The way these pads dangle and sway could easily hypnotize an unsuspecting feline into thinking they’re about to pounce on a delightful plaything. Or perhaps the bright colors are just an irresistible invitation to investigate—never underestimate a cat’s fascination with anything that wiggles or looks remotely fun!

The Puke Factor

Should a curious kitty decide to snack on the Epiphyllum, fret not! There’s no need for dramatic concerns about the ā€œrapid expulsion of lunch.ā€ In fact, this plant is gentle on our delicate tummies. If a feline were to indulge, they might experience a mild case of ā€œI regret my life choicesā€ rather than any serious consequences. Fear not, there will be no dramatic scenes involving our humans rushing us to the vet in a state of panic!

Human Instructions

To my dear human servants: you can relax and allow this plant to remain in your abode. It won’t pose a threat to our feline majesty, but remember—if it starts looking suspiciously like it’s plotting against us, keep a watchful eye! After all, a cat's intuition is never wrong!

Good news! Epiphyllum is generally considered safe according to the Dr. Mittens Fur-mula. While a large amount might cause a mild tummy upset (standard cat logic), it is not toxic.

Since it's safe, you don't have to worry much, but hanging baskets are a great way to keep your foliage out of "pounce range". Check out these <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=cat+safe+hanging+planters&tag=duriancat-20" target="_blank">cat-safe hanging planters on Amazon</a>.
