Horehound

Marrubium vulgare

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)
The Feline Perspective on Horehound

The Verdict 🐾

Oh, dear humans, fear not! Horehound (Marrubium vulgare) is officially safe for your feline companions. Yes, Dr. Mittens approves this plant as a non-toxic delight. But honestly, why do you humans have to complicate everything? Just let us sniff and nibble in peace!

The Taste Test

Now, why would an astute feline like myself be tempted to munch on Horehound? Perhaps it’s the way its fuzzy leaves look like a plush toy begging for attention. Or maybe it’s the delightful aroma that dances in the air, making it seem like a wiggly treat. But let’s be honest: my human will never comprehend the allure of this plant. They’d rather dangle a feather on a string!

The Puke Factor

In the unlikely event that a curious cat indulges in Horehound, the results might be a rapid expulsion of lunch! While the plant is not toxic, we might experience a mild case of “what on earth was I thinking?” resulting in some funny faces and possibly an unwanted hairball. But fear not, dear humans! Only the bravest of felines would actually attempt this botanical adventure.

Human Instructions

Attention, human servants! Since Horehound is safe, you may allow this green invader to remain in your home. Just ensure it doesn’t overshadow the more important catnip plants. Remember, a happy feline makes for a happy household, and I demand my royal space!
