Money Plant

Epipremnum aureum

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME

The Verdict 🐾

Ah, the notorious Money Plant, or as I like to call it, "The Green Menace." This leafy intruder is toxic to us felines. Yes, you heard correctly, Humans: Dr. Mittens does not approve. While it may bring a little extra green into your lives, it poses a serious threat to our delicate feline systems.

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why a curious kitty might be tempted to sample this dubious delight. Its glossy leaves shimmer like a tantalizing toy, and those trailing vines might just wiggle enticingly in the breeze. Could it be a game? A delightful snack? Or perhaps a cunning attempt to lure us into the world of plant-based diets? Spoiler alert: it’s not a game, and it’s definitely not a snack.

The Puke Factor

If you’re wondering what happens when we indulge in this green villain, let me paint you a vivid picture. Picture me, a dignified feline, in a moment of poor judgment, experiencing a rapid expulsion of lunch. This plant can cause oral irritation, excessive drooling, and a delightful array of other gastrointestinal disturbances. Trust me, Humans, you don’t want to witness the aftermath—both the smell and the sight are less than regal.

Human Instructions

Now, listen closely, dear human servants! It’s time to banish this green invader from your home. I suggest a swift and decisive removal. Replace it with something less hazardous—perhaps a catnip plant? After all, we kitties deserve safe, fun, and non-toxic greenery to frolic with!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Money Plant?

Caution: Money Plant 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 Money Plant?

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.
