⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Dr. Mittens on Garlic: A Cautionary Tale

The Verdict 🐾

Ah, garlic. That pungent bulb of culinary delight for humans, yet a toxic terror for us refined felines. I must emphatically declare: garlic is a no-go! It’s toxic to cats, and as your esteemed Feline Safety Researcher, I cannot approve of this allium abomination! Humans, what were you thinking?!

The Taste Test

Now, I can see why some curious kitties might be tempted to nibble on this bulbous beast. With its bulbous shape and the delightful way it dangles from those human hands, it might just look like a new toy. And let’s not forget the irresistible aroma that wafts through the air—oh, how it tickles the whiskers! But alas, it’s a trap, dear friends, a trap! Not a wiggling mouse, but a wiggling “no thanks!”

The Puke Factor

Should a foolish feline decide to indulge in this toxic treat, prepare for the “rapid expulsion of lunch.” Symptoms can include a symphony of discomfort: lethargy, drooling, and perhaps a dramatic exit of your last meal. In other words, one might say it leads to an unfortunate case of “what goes in, must come out”—and not in a graceful manner!

Human Instructions

Hear this, humans! Banish this green invader from your homes. It does not belong in our kingdom! Keep it far from our paws, lest we suffer the consequences of your culinary misadventures. Remember, we cats prefer our delicacies to come from reputable sources—like the pantry, not the garden!


Frequently Asked Questions 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Garlic?

Caution: Garlic is toxic. If your cat has nibbled on it, monitor for symptoms like vomiting or lethargy and contact your veterinarian immediately.

How can I keep my cat away from Garlic?

Banishment is best. If you must keep it, ensure it is in a room the cat cannot access, or use high, unreachable shelves (if those actually exist in a cat's world).
