Monstera

Monstera deliciosa

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME

The Verdict 🐾

Greetings, dear humans! Dr. Mittens here, your esteemed Feline Safety Researcher, to discuss the intriguing yet perilous Monstera plant. In case you were wondering, this leafy beast is indeed toxic. Yes, you heard that right! It seems our human companions simply can’t resist inviting danger into their homes. As your furry overlord, I must declare: I do not approve of this green menace!

The Taste Test

Now, you might wonder why a curious cat like myself would even consider munching on this monstrosity. I mean, just look at those dramatic holes and splits in its leaves! It practically screams “playtime!” Could it be mistaken for a tantalizing feather toy? Or perhaps it wiggles enticingly in the breeze, beckoning to be pounced upon? Alas, my dear humans, this is not a toy but rather a treacherous trap waiting to ensnare the unsuspecting feline.

The Puke Factor

Should a brave kitty decide to indulge in this green invader, the consequences could be dire. Expect a rapid expulsion of lunch, accompanied by a chorus of regretful meows. Symptoms can include drooling, swelling of the mouth, and a general sense of “why did I eat that?” as the poor feline experiences the botanical equivalent of a culinary disaster. Remember, curiosity may have killed the cat, but it’s also the reason for my disdain for this plant!

Human Instructions

To my dear human servants: banish this green invader! Your precious furball deserves a safe environment, free from the perils of the Monstera. Instead, please consider offering us some catnip or a sturdy scratching post. We promise to love you more for it!


Frequently Asked Questions 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Monstera?

Caution: Monstera is toxic. If your cat has nibbled on it, monitor for symptoms like vomiting or lethargy and contact your veterinarian immediately.

How can I keep my cat away from Monstera?

Banishment is best. If you must keep it, ensure it is in a room the cat cannot access, or use high, unreachable shelves (if those actually exist in a cat's world).
