Dr. Mittens on Fir

The Verdict 🐾

Ah, the Fir tree! A majestic specimen that stands tall in the great outdoors, and thankfully, it is on my "not-a-threat" list. Yes, dear humans, this green giant is safe for us finicky felines to frolic around. As your esteemed Feline Safety Researcher, I give my furry stamp of approval. You may now breathe easy, unless you’ve been hoarding those dreadful catnip toys. But I digress!

The Taste Test

Now, you might wonder why a sophisticated creature like a cat would even consider a nibble on this evergreen beauty. Well, let me enlighten you! The Fir’s needle-like leaves look suspiciously like those tantalizing, wiggle-inducing toys! And the way they rustle in the wind? Oh, my whiskers! It’s as if they’re calling out, “Play with me!” But, I assure you, the only thing you’ll catch is a mouthful of needles and a perplexed expression from your human.

The Puke Factor

In the rare event that a curious kitty (not naming names, but it starts with 'me' and ends with 'ittens') decides to munch on a Fir needle, the outcome is less than glamorous. Expect a rapid expulsion of lunch, followed by an indignant glare as your human scrambles to clean up. Fear not, this isn’t a feline catastrophe, just a momentary lapse in judgment, which we are known for, of course!

Human Instructions

Dear humans, do not panic! The Fir is a delightful addition to your indoor jungle, so allow this to remain. But be vigilant! Watch for any errant needles that may fall. We do appreciate a tidy environment, after all. Now, if only you could manage to keep the catnip toys stocked!


Frequently Asked Questions 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Fir?

Good news! Fir is generally considered safe. While a large amount might cause a mild tummy upset (standard cat logic), it is not toxic.

How can I keep my cat away from Fir?

Since it's safe, you don't have to worry much, but hanging baskets are a great way to keep your foliage out of "nibble range".
