Lungwort: A Feline Perspective

The Verdict 🐾

Ah, Lungwort! A delightful little plant that is completely safe for your human companions. Yes, you heard that right! While I, Dr. Mittens, am usually skeptical of anything that grows in dirt, I will give a paws-up to this one. It’s non-toxic, so you can let your humans keep it around without fear of a dramatic expulsion of their dinner—or worse, my lunch!

The Taste Test

Now, why would a discerning feline like myself ever consider nibbling on a green foliage? One might argue it resembles a cat toy—such a delightful texture! Those wavy leaves could easily be mistaken for a playful ribbon, and they do have a certain wiggle to them when the breeze blows. Plus, the name “Lungwort” is intriguing! Who wouldn’t want to sample something with a name that sounds like a spell from the wizarding world? Just imagine the tales I could tell!

The Puke Factor

Fear not, dear humans! Should I, in a rare moment of questionable judgment, decide to munch on some Lungwort, the consequences would not be dire. I wouldn't be dramatically expelling my lunch like I might with those dastardly lilies. Instead, the most I might experience is a slightly bewildering taste sensation or perhaps a moment of confusion. But really, who can blame me for being curious?

Human Instructions

So, my dear human servants, you may breathe easy! This plant is safe, so allow it to remain in your home. Just don’t expect me to take it seriously as a snack—it’s no catnip, after all!

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>.
