✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)
Dr. Mittens on Hyssop

The Verdict 🐾

Good news, my dear humans! Hyssop is as safe as a sunbeam on a lazy afternoon. In fact, I, Dr. Mittens, give it my glorious paw of approval. No need to fear this green delight!

The Taste Test

Now, why might a discerning feline like me consider munching on this herb? Well, dear humans, Hyssop's leaves have a fuzzy charm that could easily be mistaken for a delightful toy. Its bushy appearance and aromatic scent might just entice any curious kitty to take a nibble. Plus, it sways in the breeze like a delightful little prey! Who wouldn’t want to chase it down?

The Puke Factor

Fear not, for in the unlikely event that a cat does indulge in this plant, the result will not be a dramatic expulsion of one’s precious lunch. Instead, it may lead to a less-than-glamorous episode of "rapid expulsion of last week’s kibble." But rest assured, nothing more severe than that—Hyssop is a gentle companion!

Human Instructions

To my dear human servants, I have but one instruction: Allow this to remain in your home! Hyssop is a delightful addition that won't cause any feline catastrophe. Just keep it away from the more mischievous cats who might confuse it for a toy. Enjoy its charms while I supervise from my sunny perch!
