Jessamine

Jasminum spp.

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME

The Verdict 🐾

Attention, dear humans! I, Dr. Mittens, have conducted a thorough investigation on the plant known as Jessamine. The results are in: this green menace is toxic! I do not approve of this leafy intruder. Keep it away from my paws, lest I unleash my judgmental glare upon you!

The Taste Test

Now, why might a curious cat like myself be tempted to nibble on this dubious plant? Well, Jessamine has a rather alluring appearance. It dangles its lovely blooms like a tantalizing toy, swaying gently in the breeze. And let’s be honest, we cats are easily distracted by anything that wiggles. However, take my word for it—this plant is not as delightful as it seems, and your taste buds will thank you for steering clear!

The Puke Factor

If, by some unfortunate twist of fate, you happen to chow down on Jessamine, brace yourself for some unpleasant consequences. Expect the rapid expulsion of your last meal, along with a side of drooling and potential tummy rumbles that sound like a thunderstorm. In short, your human will likely be left cleaning up a rather ungraceful mess. I’d suggest keeping my litter box in mind instead!

Human Instructions

Dear human servants, heed my advice: Banish this green invader from your home immediately! One whiff of its toxic charm could spell disaster for us noble felines. Instead, fill your abode with safe, delightful plants that won’t turn our purring into purging. Trust me, your kitty will thank you with an extra headbutt or two!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Jessamine?

Caution: Jessamine 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 Jessamine?

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.
