Hoary Alyssum

The Verdict 🐾

After extensive research involving rigorous naps and an occasional paw-swipe, I, Dr. Mittens, declare the Hoary Alyssum to be safe. Yes, safe! So, you can rest easy, my dear human servants. I approve of this leafy friend—a rarity in the plant kingdom!

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why a discerning feline like myself might be tempted to nibble on this plant. With its delicate, soft leaves and a name that sounds suspiciously like a fancy toy, one might confuse Hoary Alyssum for an intriguing plaything. Perhaps it wiggles in the wind, beckoning curious whiskers to investigate. Or could it be the enticing scent of...nothingness? Whatever the reason, I wouldn't be surprised if some kitties give it a go—though I wouldn't recommend it, as you'll soon discover!

The Puke Factor

If a brave (or foolish) feline were to munch on Hoary Alyssum, the consequences might include a rapid expulsion of lunch. Yes, that's right! Picture this: a sudden and dramatic performance of “The Great Cat Regurgitation.” There would be no elegant exit here, just a hasty retreat to the nearest rug. Luckily, I can assure you that there are no long-term effects from this green misadventure, just a reminder that not all plants are created equal.

Human Instructions

Fear not, my human minions! This plant can remain in your garden or home. In fact, consider it a decorative addition to your collection of “safe” flora. Just don’t go thinking it’s edible catnip, because it’s not. Maintain vigilant watch over your other plants, as not all are as friendly as Hoary Alyssum. Now, if only you could manage the vacuum cleaner with the same finesse!
