Hoya

Hoya spp.

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)

The Verdict 🐾

After extensive paw-sitive research, I, Dr. Mittens, declare the Hoya plant as a safe companion for your household. Yes, you read that right! This delightful green entity is not toxic to us cats. I approve of its presence – but let’s keep an eye on those peculiar humans of ours, shall we?

The Taste Test

Now, one might wonder why a sophisticated feline like myself would even consider munching on a Hoya. It’s all about the aesthetics, dear humans! With its waxy leaves and clusters of charming little flowers, it looks like a toy crafted by the gods of feline delight. One might even think it wiggles enticingly in the light, sparking that irresistible curiosity within us. Surely, it must be something to nibble on, right? Think again, humans!

The Puke Factor

Fear not, should a curious cat like myself decide to indulge in this plant, the aftermath wouldn’t be that dramatic. If we happen to nibble on a leaf or two, expect nothing more than a rapid expulsion of lunch – a quick and unceremonious exit of our previous meal. But fret not! It’s merely a reflex, not a toxic reaction. Unlike your questionable culinary experiments, this plant won’t send us sprinting for the litter box!

Human Instructions

To my human followers: allow this charming little green companion to remain. It’s not just a pretty face; it’s a safe addition to your indoor jungle! Just remember, while we find it aesthetically pleasing, keep your snacks out of reach. After all, we wouldn’t want to ruin the delicate balance of your plant arrangement, would we?

Since it's safe, you don't have to worry much, but hanging baskets are a great way to keep your foliage out of "pounce range". Check out these <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=cat+safe+hanging+planters&tag=duriancat-20" target="_blank">cat-safe hanging planters on Amazon</a>.
