Dr. Mittens on Lavender

The Verdict 🐾

Greetings, my two-legged companions! I, Dr. Mittens, have examined the curious plant known as lavender, and I declare it safe for our feline selves. Yes, you heard that right—no toxic shenanigans here! Consider this an official paw of approval from your esteemed cat scientist. You may keep it around, but let’s not forget to keep those pesky catnip toys in stock!

The Taste Test

Now, why might a discerning feline like myself be tempted to nibble on this purple wonder? Perhaps it resembles a delightful little mouse or a fuzzy toy that dances in the wind. Those swaying stems might just catch my eye, prompting me to investigate further. But let’s be real—who can resist a plant that looks like it could be a potential snack or a new friend for an afternoon wrestle?

The Puke Factor

Should a cat succumb to the allure of lavender and partake in a bit too much plant munching, fear not! The symptoms are far less dramatic than one might think. You won’t be facing any rapid expulsion of lunch; instead, you might experience a mild tummy rumble or a slightly disgruntled expression. Nothing that a good nap in the sun won’t cure!

Human Instructions

For you, my human servants, I recommend you allow this lovely lavender to remain in your home. It adds a delightful scent to our environment—just don’t expect me to appreciate its aroma as much as you do. And remember, if I start eyeing it suspiciously, it’s probably because I see it as a potential foe or plaything!


Frequently Asked Questions 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Lavender?

Good news! Lavender is generally considered safe. While a large amount might cause a mild tummy upset (standard cat logic), it is not toxic.

How can I keep my cat away from Lavender?

Since it's safe, you don't have to worry much, but hanging baskets are a great way to keep your foliage out of "nibble range".
