Hen and Chickens

Sempervivum tectorum

āœ“ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)

The Verdict 🐾

Good news, my fellow felines! The plant known as "Hen and Chickens" is officially on my "Approved List" 🐾. This succulent specimen is not only safe for our delicate tummies but also a delightful addition to your human's indoor jungle. I, Dr. Mittens, give it my distinguished stamp of approval. Consider it a green light for your humans to keep this one around!

The Taste Test

Now, you may wonder why any self-respecting cat would even contemplate nibbling on such a plant. Well, let me enlighten you! The "Hen and Chickens" plant has a curious appearance—like a little green toy that begs to be batted around! Those plump leaves could easily be mistaken for the finest catnip, and we all know how irresistible that is. It doesn’t wiggle, but if it did, it would surely send us into a playful frenzy!

The Puke Factor

Should you find yourself with a mischievous urge to sample this succulent, fear not! The "Hen and Chickens" won’t lead to any dramatic scenes of rapid expulsion of lunch. In fact, should you indulge, the worst you might experience is a mild tummy rumble, akin to a disgruntled meow. But honestly, it's not worth it—there are far tastier morsels to be had, like that fancy tuna your human hoards!

Human Instructions

To my beloved human servants: feel free to allow this green invader to remain in your domain! Just ensure that it’s out of my reach, lest I fancy it a toy. Keep it watered and well-lit, and remember that I might occasionally give it a curious sniff. But rest assured, I’ll stick to my gourmet cat food for my main course!
