⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Lupine: A Cautionary Tale by Dr. Mittens

The Verdict 🐾

Attention, fellow feline aficionados! The Lupine plant is officially on my naughty list. This verdant beauty is toxic to our kind, and I do NOT approve. If you encounter this plant, run away, or better yet, stage a dramatic exit!

The Taste Test

Now, you might wonder why a curious cat, such as myself, would even consider munching on this toxic terror. Perhaps it’s the vibrant colors that remind us of our favorite bouncy balls, or maybe it’s the way the leaves sway ever so invitingly in the breeze, resembling a tantalizing feather toy. But listen closely, dear humans: your feline instincts are not always correct!

The Puke Factor

If by some misfortune we do decide to sample this leafy lunacy, prepare for a rapid expulsion of lunch that could rival a fireworks display! Symptoms may include drooling, excessive meowing (not the good kind), and a sudden urge to find the nearest litter box. Let’s just say, it’s a real party, but not one we want to attend!

Human Instructions

Dear human servants, heed my warning: banish this green invader from your domain! The only thing it brings is trouble and, potentially, a very unhappy kitty. Trust me, your life will be much better without this toxic plant lurking around!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Lupine?

Caution: Lupine 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 Lupine?

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.
