Gladiola

Gladiolus spp.

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME

The Verdict đŸŸ

Ah, the Gladiola! A flower that struts about like it owns the garden. But let me be clear, dear humans: this pretty petal is toxic to us feline connoisseurs. As Dr. Mittens, your distinguished Feline Safety Researcher, I must advise you to keep this floral faux pas far from my paws. I do not approve of this green invader!

The Taste Test

Now, why might a curious kitty like myself be tempted to nibble on such a dangerous bloom? Well, the Gladiola stands tall and proud, waving its colorful petals like a tantalizing feather toy. Its vibrant hues might just lure an adventurous feline into thinking it’s a new chew toy! And let’s be honest, anything that wiggles in the breeze is just begging for investigation. Who wouldn’t want to pounce on it? Yet, I have to remind you, it’s a trap!

The Puke Factor

Should a daring cat decide to indulge in this toxic temptation, the consequences could be rather unpleasant. Expect a rapid expulsion of lunch, followed by a symphony of gastrointestinal distress. This may include excessive drooling, lethargy, or worse – a dramatic exit stage left from our favorite sunny napping spot. Trust me, it’s not a pretty sight!

Human Instructions

Listen up, human servants! Banish this green invader from your home and garden. You wouldn’t want your precious feline friend to turn into a walking puddle of distress, would you? So, heed my wise advice: Gladiola is not the flower for us! Keep those toxic petals at bay and let’s stick to catnip instead.


Frequently Asked Questions đŸŸ

What happens if my cat eats Gladiola?

Caution: Gladiola 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 Gladiola?

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).
