Laurel

Laurus nobilis

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME

The Verdict 🐾

Attention, esteemed humans and fellow feline enthusiasts! After rigorous investigation, I, Dr. Mittens, must declare that the laurel plant is indeed toxic. Yes, you heard it right! This leafy green menace is not fit for my sophisticated palate, nor should it be for yours. Keep it away from our curious noses, lest it lead to an unfortunate encounter with your litter box that neither of us wants!

The Taste Test

Now, you might wonder why I would ever contemplate nibbling on this plant. Picture this: the laurel leaves are glossy, shiny, and oh-so-temptingly reminiscent of a toy that just might wiggle! A flick of the tail, a pounce – it could be the perfect ambush! But alas, dear humans, my instincts remind me that not every intriguing leaf is a suitable snack. Let's just say the laurel's allure is purely an optical illusion, much like the red dot you endlessly chase!

The Puke Factor

Should a foolish feline (or an even more foolish human!) decide to munch on laurel, the consequences are less than delightful. Expect rapid expulsion of lunch, accompanied by a chorus of gastrointestinal discontent. Symptoms may include drooling like a waterfall, stomach rumbles that could rival a thunderstorm, and belly aches that would make even the bravest cat want to hide under the couch. In simpler terms, you don't want this drama unfolding at your next dinner party!

Human Instructions

Dear humans, take heed! Banish this green invader from your homes posthaste. It may look harmless, but the laurel plant is a sneaky little troublemaker that could turn your furry friend’s day upside down. If you must have greenery, opt for cat grass instead – it’s safe, delicious, and will earn you some serious brownie points with your feline overlord!


Frequently Asked Questions 🐾

Banishment is best. If you must keep it, ensure it is in a room the cat cannot access, or use high, unreachable shelves (if those actually exist in a cat's world).
