Olive

Olea europaea

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)

The Verdict 🐾

After extensive whisker-twitching research, I, Dr. Mittens, proudly declare the Olive plant as safe for feline companions! Yes, you heard that right, humans. No need for the emergency vet visit when your cat curiously sniffs this leafy wonder. I approve, but let's not get carried away; I still think you could use a good grooming!

The Taste Test

Now, why would any self-respecting feline be tempted to nibble on this green delight? Well, the Olive plant has a certain elegance—its leaves dangle like the finest feathered toys. And let's not forget the allure of those tiny fruits! They resemble little balls of delight, perfect for batting around before indulging. Trust me, if I had opposable thumbs, I'd be testing these out personally, but alas, I must leave that to you bumbling humans.

The Puke Factor

Should your feline friend decide to partake in a salad of Olive leaves, fear not! The severity of consequences is minimal. However, if a cat were to overindulge, expect a rapid expulsion of lunch—perhaps even last week’s kibble! But in all seriousness, you might witness some mild tummy grumbles and the occasional sideways glance from your furball. Nothing a good nap won't fix!

Human Instructions

Humans, listen closely: since the Olive is safe, feel free to allow this plant to remain in your cat’s domain. Just don’t be surprised if your feline starts treating it like a chew toy! Keep an eye on us, though; we might just use it as a throne for our royal naps!


Frequently Asked Questions 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Olive?

Good news! Olive 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 Olive?

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".
