The Verdict 🐾
After extensive paw-sitive research in my laboratory (a.k.a. the sunny windowsill), I, Dr. Mittens, declare the False Indigo (Amorpha fruticosa) safe for both feline and human consumption. Yes, you heard that right, my dear humans! This plant is not a toxic foe but rather a harmless green companion. I approve of its presence in your gardens, as it poses no threat to my delicate whiskers or your naive toes.
The Taste Test
Now, let's ponder why a curious cat might be inclined to nibble on this bushy charmer. Perhaps it’s the vibrant foliage that resembles a delightful toy, swaying gently in the breeze, calling out to the playful instincts of any feline. Or maybe it’s the texture that tempts us, a perfect candidate for a delightful chew. Who can resist a plant that looks like it could be wrestled with?
The Puke Factor
Fear not, fellow furballs! Should you find yourself munching on some False Indigo, you won't be faced with the dreaded "rapid expulsion of lunch." In fact, with this plant being safe, you are more likely to experience a pleasant stroll around the garden, without any hasty dashes to the litter box. Disappointingly uneventful, I know, but hey, it means more time for sunbathing!
Human Instructions
Dear human servants, you may rejoice! Allow this verdant gem to remain in your gardens. It’s a lovely addition that won’t endanger your precious feline friends. Just keep an eye on us; after all, you never know when a cat might decide to test the boundaries of safety! But for now, let the False Indigo flourish!
