Fatou

Spathiphyllum spp.

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME

The Verdict 🐾

Attention, fellow felines and our bemused human counterparts: the plant in question, known as "Fatou," is indeed toxic. Yes, you heard it right! This leafy menace is not suitable for your delicate paws or my distinguished whiskers. As a proud Feline Safety Researcher, I must declare that Dr. Mittens does NOT approve of Fatou's presence in our domain. Keep it far away from our feline realms!

The Taste Test

Now, why on earth would a curious cat like myself be tempted to nibble on this dastardly green intruder? Could it be its alluring resemblance to a plush toy? Or perhaps it wiggles enticingly when the wind rustles its leaves? One could argue that Fatou, with its glossy, vibrant foliage, might be mistaken for a delightful plaything, just begging to be pounced upon! Alas, my dear humans, this is a classic case of looks being deceiving!

The Puke Factor

Should your unsuspecting feline friend decide to partake in this perilous plant buffet, prepare for an unpleasant surprise. Symptoms may include rapid expulsion of lunch, a sudden bout of the zoomies, and perhaps a few dramatic flops on the floor as we try to rid ourselves of the offending foliage. Let’s just say, it’s not pretty, and it certainly doesn’t end well for anyone involved—especially not the humans who have to clean it up!

Human Instructions

Dear human servants, heed my warning: banish this green invader from your home! It poses a threat to our well-being, and we simply cannot risk your ignorance leading to our peril. Remove Fatou immediately, lest you face the consequences of your poor plant choices. Trust me, your furry overlord will thank you!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Fatou?

Caution: Fatou 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 Fatou?

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.
