Mullein

Verbascum thapsus

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)

The Verdict 🐾

After careful analysis (and a few curious sniffs), I, Dr. Mittens, declare Mullein to be perfectly safe for your feline companions. Yes, you heard it right! This tall, fuzzy plant is not a threat, so I give it a big paw of approval. Perhaps those pesky humans can finally stop fretting over every green thing in the garden!

The Taste Test

Now, one might wonder why a discerning feline like myself would even consider munching on Mullein. Well, let’s face it: it has a certain allure! With its soft, fuzzy leaves reminiscent of a delightful cat toy, it’s practically begging for a nibble. Plus, the tall stalks might look like they’re doing a little dance in the breeze—who can resist a wiggling target? Not this cat, I assure you!

The Puke Factor

Should you find your curious kitty has indulged in a few Mullein snacks, fear not! The most dramatic outcome would be a rapid expulsion of lunch, or as I like to call it, a “furry fountain of regret.” But in all seriousness, no serious symptoms are expected. Just the usual “oops, I shouldn’t have eaten that” face. Humans, you really ought to trust our instincts regarding the edibility of flora!

Human Instructions

To my human servants, I say this: allow Mullein to remain in your garden! It poses no threat to your beloved feline friends. Instead of hovering over us like a hawk, perhaps focus on keeping the catnip stash replenished. We all know what’s really important around here!


Frequently Asked Questions 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Mullein?

Good news! Mullein is generally considered safe. While a large amount might cause a mild tummy upset (standard cat logic), it is not toxic.

How can I keep my cat away from Mullein?

Since it's safe, you don't have to worry much, but hanging baskets are a great way to keep your foliage out of "nibble range".
