Moonflower

Ipomoea alba

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME

The Verdict 🐾

Dear Humans, it is with a flick of my tail and a disdainful meow that I inform you of the Moonflower's status: Toxic! Yes, this enchanting bloom is not only a night-time spectacle but also a sneaky little danger. As a distinguished Feline Safety Researcher (and, dare I say, a rather discerning feline), I do not approve of this botanical menace lurking in your garden.

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why a curious cat might be tempted to nibble on this dubious plant. First off, its large, white, and somewhat floppy petals could be mistaken for a fancy feather toy. Perhaps it wiggles in the breeze, enticing our feline instincts to pounce. Or maybe, just maybe, it has that alluring scent of nighttime mischief that calls to us like a siren song. But I assure you, dear humans, the only thing this flower will bring is disaster!

The Puke Factor

If one were to indulge in a Moonflower buffet, the results would not be pretty. Expect rapid expulsion of lunch, followed by a delightful array of gastrointestinal discontent. Symptoms may include an upset tummy, drooling like a fountain, and a general feeling of existential dread. In short, you’ll know your cat has made a poor life choice, much like you do when you attempt to wear that ridiculous Christmas sweater.

Human Instructions

Listen closely, human servants: Banish this green invader! Remove it from your abode and prevent any feline from making the catastrophic decision to sample it. Remember, just because it’s pretty doesn’t mean it’s safe! Keep our homes free of such toxic temptations, or risk an evening of feline theatrics that even Shakespeare would envy.


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Moonflower?

Caution: Moonflower 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 Moonflower?

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.
