Dr. Mittens' Take on the Nerve Plant

The Verdict 🐾

After thorough examination (and a few enthusiastic sniffs), I, Dr. Mittens, declare the Nerve Plant to be a safe green companion for your home! Yes, dear humans, you can breathe easy as I graciously approve of this non-toxic plant. Just don’t let it go to your head; it's not a substitute for my catnip.

The Taste Test

Now, why would a discerning feline like myself be tempted to nibble on this leafy delight? Well, it boasts vibrant, intricate patterns that could easily be mistaken for a wiggly toy. The tiny leaves dance enticingly in the breeze, making them look like a perfect plaything. Plus, let's be honest, anything that looks this good is bound to spark a cat's curiosity. Is it a snack? Is it an adventure? Who can resist?

The Puke Factor

Fear not, dear humans! Should I (or any other cat) indulge in a little nibble of the Nerve Plant, the results would be far from catastrophic. You can expect nothing more than a mild case of "rapid expulsion of lunch", akin to an impressive display of acrobatics. In layman’s terms: a little tummy upset, but no dramatic theatrics. Just a bit of leaf-related mischief, nothing to panic over!

Human Instructions

For my human servants, I graciously recommend allowing this delightful plant to remain in your abode. It enhances the aesthetic and provides a fascinating distraction for both you and your feline overlord. Just remember, it’s not for munching—unless you're a cat with a flair for the dramatic!
