Inkberry

The Verdict 🐾

Greetings, esteemed humans and fellow felines! I, Dr. Mittens, have closely examined the Inkberry plant (Ilex glabra), and I am pleased to announce that it is safe for your consumption. Yes, you heard that right! This little green gem won’t lead you to a feline disaster. I approve wholeheartedly, though I must say, it's a bit of an acquired taste for us sophisticated furballs.

The Taste Test

Now, you may wonder why a curious kitty might be inclined to nibble on this plant. The Inkberry has a certain allure—its glossy leaves can resemble a delightful toy, inviting a playful pounce. They don't wiggle, but their shiny surface could easily trick a cat into thinking it's a captivating creature waiting to be caught. Oh, the folly of our human companions who assume we only chase after yarn balls!

The Puke Factor

Fear not, my dear humans! If your feline friend happens to indulge in a cheeky nibble of Inkberry, the worst you'll see is a rapid expulsion of lunch (aka a rather theatrical "regurgitation performance"). Fortunately, there are no dire consequences, just a rather unimpressed kitty contemplating life choices and the madness of munching on greenery.

Human Instructions

For you, my human servants, the directive is clear: Allow this to remain! Embrace the Inkberry in your abode, but perhaps consider keeping the catnip closer for us discerning gourmets. Just remember, while it’s safe, it may not be the next feline delicacy. Let the plant do its job of looking pretty while we focus on our main culinary pursuits—like the never-ending quest for the elusive laser dot!
