⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Nettle: A Feline's Take

The Verdict 🐾

Ah, the nettle! A green invader that has been deemed toxic for us refined felines. If you see your human trying to impress you with this prickly plant, you might want to give them a side-eye. Dr. Mittens does NOT approve. Toxicity level: very much so!

The Taste Test

Now, let's ponder why a curious kitty might be tempted to nibble on this green menace. Perhaps its vibrant green color and feathery leaves resemble a tantalizing feather toy? Or maybe it wiggles in the breeze like an irresistible bug? Whatever the reason, dear human, heed my warning: it’s not a toy, it’s a trap!

The Puke Factor

If your foolish feline friend decides to indulge in this prickly snack, prepare for some serious consequences. We're talking about rapid expulsion of lunch—impressive, but not in a good way! Symptoms may include excessive pawing at the mouth, bewildered looks, and a dramatic exit from the dining room. Trust me, no kitty wants to add “nasty nettle” to their royal cuisine!

Human Instructions

Oh, dear humans, take note! Banish this green invader from your domain. It’s not a superfood, it’s a super no-go! Clear it out before your feline overlord encounters it. Your kitty's safety is at stake, and we wouldn’t want to ruin their impeccable reputation with nettle-induced antics!
