Indigo

Indigofera tinctoria

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)

The Verdict 🐾

Greetings, my fellow feline aficionados! I, Dr. Mittens, have pounced on the delightful subject of the Indigo plant. To my great relief, this botanical marvel is classified as safe for our furry friends. Yes, you read that right—no toxic shenanigans here! As a distinguished researcher (and, let’s be honest, a rather distinguished cat), I wholeheartedly approve of this plant’s presence in your human habitat. It appears, at least in this instance, that The Humans have chosen correctly!

The Taste Test

Now, why oh why might a curious kitty be tempted to nibble on the Indigo plant? Perhaps it’s the alluring, lush green leaves that resemble a tantalizing toy, just waiting to be pounced upon. Or maybe it’s the way the leaves sway ever so gently in the breeze, giving the impression of a tantalizing wiggly snack. Whatever the reason, I can assure you that our insatiable curiosity drives us to investigate, even if it means sampling the local flora.

The Puke Factor

Fear not, dear human servants! If your feline companion does take a daring bite of this indigo wonder, the most you’ll witness is some mild indigestion—perhaps a rapid expulsion of lunch, but nothing catastrophic. A few glares from your cat may ensue, as we tend to take our culinary choices quite seriously. Just make sure to have a cozy spot ready for some sulking!

Human Instructions

For you, my hapless human, I offer this wisdom: Allow the Indigo to remain in your abode! It’s safe, it’s stylish, and it may even add a touch of class to your otherwise drab living space. Just keep an eye on us furballs; our taste buds can be quite adventurous! Happy gardening!


Frequently Asked Questions 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Indigo?

Good news! Indigo is generally considered safe. While a large amount might cause a mild tummy upset (standard cat logic), it is not toxic.

How can I keep my cat away from Indigo?

Since it's safe, you don't have to worry much, but hanging baskets are a great way to keep your foliage out of "nibble range".
