Geranium

Pelargonium spp.

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)

The Verdict đŸŸ

Good news, my dear humans! The geranium plant, with its vibrant blooms and delightful foliage, is deemed safe for our feline friends. Yes, you heard it right! As Dr. Mittens, I approve this delightful greenery for your households. It seems even your questionable taste in houseplants has a redeeming quality!

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why a curious cat might fancy a nibble of this floral delight. First off, those bright petals look like a rather enticing toy, don’t they? They flutter in the breeze, almost begging to be swatted at. And let’s be honest, if you’ve ever seen a geranium, it does bear a certain resemblance to those tantalizing catnip-filled toys you humans insist on hiding from us. Plus, they smell... well, very plant-like. A cat’s natural curiosity might just get the better of them!

The Puke Factor

In the unlikely event that your feline decides to munch on a geranium (perhaps mistaking it for a particularly fluffy mouse), fear not! There are no dire consequences to report. Should your furry companion decide to engage in a little plant sampling, you might witness what I like to call the “rapid expulsion of lunch.” Thankfully, this is generally a minor hiccup, resulting in a rather unimpressive hairball or two. But let’s be real, who doesn’t enjoy a good drama in the litter box?

Human Instructions

For you, my beloved human servants, I recommend keeping this charming plant around. It poses no threat to our health, and your home could use a splash of color—let’s face it, the litter box corner isn’t winning any decorating awards! So, allow this to remain and continue to delight both you and your feline overlords.


Frequently Asked Questions đŸŸ

What happens if my cat eats Geranium?

Good news! Geranium 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 Geranium?

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".
