Jade Plant

Crassula ovata

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Dr. Mittens on the Jade Plant

The Verdict đŸŸ

Attention, human servants! The Jade Plant, or Crassula ovata, is deemed toxic for feline friends like me. Yes, you heard it right! This succulent is not only a questionable choice for your home decor but also a potential danger for your whiskered companions. As a distinguished Feline Safety Researcher, I must firmly advise against its presence. So, banish this green invader from our sacred domain!

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why a curious cat might be drawn to this succulent terror. Perhaps it resembles a toy, glistening under the sun, inviting paws to bat at it! Or maybe it wiggles just enough when you brush past, tempting us to investigate further. But trust me, it’s not a toy; it’s more like a trap dressed in green, designed to ensnare the unsuspecting feline with its false allure!

The Puke Factor

If you, in a moment of sheer curiosity, decide to nibble on this jade monstrosity, be prepared for a rapid expulsion of lunch! Symptoms may include excessive drooling, lethargy fit for a lazy Sunday, and possibly a dramatic episode of the "I regret my life choices" face. Let’s just say, it’s not pretty, and you’d rather not have to explain to your human why you’re suddenly doing the “I ate something awful” dance!

Human Instructions

Dear humans, heed my scientific warning: banish this green invader! Your beloved feline’s safety is at stake, and I assure you, there are much safer plants that won’t lead to a regrettable culinary adventure. Keep us safe, and for the love of catnip, do better!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ đŸŸ

What happens if my cat eats Jade Plant?

Caution: Jade Plant is toxic. If your cat has nibbled on it, monitor for symptoms like vomiting, lethargy, or loss of appetite and contact your veterinarian immediately. Do not wait for symptoms to worsen.

How can I keep my cat away from Jade Plant?

Banishment is best. If you must keep it, ensure it is in a room the cat cannot access, or use high, unreachable shelves. Alternatively, consider a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=cat+deterrent+spray+for+plants&tag=duriancat-20" target="_blank">cat-safe deterrent spray</a> to protect both your cat and your greenery.
