Larkspur

Delphinium spp.

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Dr. Mittens on Larkspur

The Verdict 🐾

Attention, humans! I, Dr. Mittens, must inform you that the Larkspur plant is decidedly toxic. This verdant menace is not a feline-friendly foliage, and I do not approve of its presence in our majestic domain. Keep it away from my paws!

The Taste Test

Now, you may wonder why a discerning feline such as myself might find this toxic plant appealing. Well, let’s be honest: it has a certain allure. Its bright blue flowers resemble delightful toys, and they sway in the breeze like they’re inviting a playful pounce. One might think it’s a fancy feather on a string! But trust me, dear humans, it’s as dangerous as a laser pointer that leads to an open window.

The Puke Factor

If, by some lapse in judgment, a cat were to sample this deceitful flora, the consequences would be dire. Symptoms could include rapid expulsion of lunch, followed by a general sense of feline despair. Imagine a royal cat suddenly regretting a hasty nibble, only to find themselves in the throes of digestive dismay. Not pretty, I assure you!

Human Instructions

So, listen closely, human servants: banish this green invader from your abode! Remove any trace of Larkspur and ensure it never darkens our doorstep again. We cats deserve a safe environment, free from such treacherous temptations. Thank you for your cooperation!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Larkspur?

Caution: Larkspur 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 Larkspur?

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.
