Jonquil

Narcissus jonquilla

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME

The Verdict 🐾

Attention, fellow felines and bewildered humans! I, Dr. Mittens, must inform you that the Jonquil is decidedly toxic. Yes, you heard that right! This plant is not just a pretty face; it’s a green menace that can wreak havoc on our delicate feline systems. So, I do not approve of this botanical intruder in our domain!

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why some curious cats might be tempted to nibble on this dubious greenery. The Jonquil has a delightful, wiggly appearance that could easily be mistaken for a playful toy. With its cheerful yellow blooms swaying in the breeze, I can see how it might catch the eye of a feline with an adventurous spirit. But trust me, dear comrades, it’s not a toy—it’s a trap!

The Puke Factor

If you do happen to mistake this plant for a snack, prepare for the rapid expulsion of lunch! Symptoms may include excessive drooling, a dramatic flop to the floor, and perhaps a theatrical episode of “Why did I eat that?” followed by some serious stomach grumbles. Your human might even mistake you for a particularly disgruntled furball! Remember, this isn’t the kind of drama that earns you extra treats; it’s more the “please call the vet” kind of situation.

Human Instructions

To my dear human servants: heed my warning! Banishing this green invader from your home is a must. Keep it out of paws' reach, lest you find yourself cleaning up the aftermath of a questionable snack decision. Let’s keep our living spaces safe and free of toxic temptations, shall we?
