The Verdict 🐾
After extensive research and a thorough paw-formance review, I, Dr. Mittens, declare the Gayfeather plant (also known scientifically as Liatris spicata) to be completely safe for both humans and discerning felines alike. Yes, you heard that right, humans! No need to panic, I approve of this colorful botanical buddy. But, seriously, why do you still let me chew on your shoelaces instead of this beauty?
The Taste Test
Now, one might wonder why a sophisticated feline like myself would consider munching on a Gayfeather. With its tall, feathery spikes dancing in the breeze, it resembles an enticing feather toy—only a more stationary version.

Human Instructions
Dear human servants, rejoice! You can allow this tempting green friend to remain in your garden. Just remember, it’s not a toy for your feline overlord but a delightful addition to our kingdom of greenery. Now, if only you’d learn to appreciate its beauty instead of that dreadful vacuum cleaner...
