Mother of Thousands

Kalanchoe daigremontiana

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Dr. Mittens on Mother of Thousands

The Verdict 🐾

Attention all feline aficionados: the Mother of Thousands (Kalanchoe daigremontiana) is officially on the naughty list! This green menace is toxic, and I, Dr. Mittens, do not approve. Keep this botanical blunder away from our curious paws!

The Taste Test

Now, you may wonder why a sophisticated cat like myself would even consider sampling this leafy fiend. With its plump, succulent leaves and the way those little plantlets dangle like enticing toys, it’s a veritable buffet of “what ifs.” But alas, my fellow felines, do not be deceived! Those wiggly bits are not playthings; they are traps designed to lure us into a world of regret!

The Puke Factor

Should you be foolish enough to indulge in a nibble of this dastardly greenery, the consequences will be dire. Expect a rapid expulsion of lunch, complete with the usual theatrics: retching, gagging, and maybe even a dramatic leap to the nearest litter box. In short, you might find yourself in a state of distress that could make even the toughest of tomcats weep.

Human Instructions

Listen closely, dear human servants! It is your duty to banish this green invader from our realm. Dispose of it swiftly and ensure your home remains a safe haven. Your feline overlords demand it!

What happens if my cat eats Mother of Thousands?

Caution: Mother of Thousands 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 Mother of Thousands?

Banishment is best. If you must keep it, ensure it is in a room the cat cannot access, or use high, unreachable shelves.
