Lemon Grass

Cymbopogon citratus

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)

The Verdict 🐾

After extensive paws-on research, I, Dr. Mittens, declare that Lemon Grass is as safe as a sunbeam on a cozy windowsill. Yes, my delightful two-legged subjects, you can breathe easy—this plant won’t send whiskers flying. I approve of its presence, but I must say, it does baffle me why humans bother with it.

The Taste Test

Now, you may wonder why a sophisticated feline like myself would even consider nibbling on this green stalk. Well, dear readers, it has a certain appeal! It stands tall and proud, almost like a tempting feather toy, and I can’t resist anything that wiggles in the breeze. The scent? Oh, it’s like a citrusy dream! I can only assume humans are trying to capture that “fresh” essence, while I ponder why they don’t just stick their noses in a sunbeam instead.

The Puke Factor

What happens if a curious kitty decides to take a bite? Well, don’t fret! There’s no risk of rapid expulsion of lunch here. In fact, the worst that might happen is a mild tummy rumble, or perhaps a few disapproving looks from the humans as I engage in what they call “the art of regurgitation.” But frankly, I’d save my energy for more important endeavors—like plotting world domination or napping.

Human Instructions

To my human servants: feel free to allow this cheerful herb to remain in your abode. It poses no threat to my delicate constitution, but do keep an eye on your sneaky feline. I may just want to give it a taste test myself—after all, a cat can never be too careful about what enters their royal mouth!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Lemon Grass?

Good news! Lemon Grass is generally considered safe according to the Dr. Mittens Fur-mula. 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 Lemon Grass?

Since it's safe, you don't have to worry much, but hanging baskets are a great way to keep your foliage out of "pounce range". Check out these <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=cat+safe+hanging+planters&tag=duriancat-20" target="_blank">cat-safe hanging planters on Amazon</a>.
