Oregano

Origanum vulgare

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)

The Verdict 🐾

Oregano, dear humans, is deemed safe for your feline companions. Yes, you heard it right! As Dr. Mittens, your distinguished Feline Safety Researcher, I hereby approve this humble herb. While you may sprinkle it on your pasta, I shall continue to judge you for your questionable culinary choices.

The Taste Test

Now, why would a sophisticated feline like myself be tempted to nibble on this green delight? Well, for starters, it resembles a rather enticing toy—tiny, leafy, and oh-so-slightly inviting. It doesn’t wiggle like a mouse, but perhaps in some alternate universe, it could! Plus, the aroma wafting through the air is reminiscent of a sun-soaked garden, just begging for a curious paw to investigate.

The Puke Factor

Should a cat indulge in this herbaceous snack, fear not! There will be no dramatic scenes of rapid expulsion of lunch or other theatrical performances. Instead, any possible side effects are more akin to the gentle rumblings of dissatisfaction in the tummy. A little gurgle here, a slight hiccup there, but nothing that calls for an urgent rescue mission. So, breathe easy, my human servants!

Human Instructions

For you, my dear humans, I suggest allowing this herb to remain in your kitchen. It’s not a menace to my kind, unlike that dastardly chocolate or those pesky grapes. So, feel free to sprinkle it on your pizzas while I judge your choices from my lofty perch. Just keep it out of my reach—after all, I have standards!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Oregano?

Good news! Oregano is generally considered safe according to the Dr. Mittens Fur-mula. 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 Oregano?

Since it's safe, you don't have to worry much, but hanging baskets are a great way to keep your foliage out of "pounce range". Check out these <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=cat+safe+hanging+planters&tag=duriancat-20" target="_blank">cat-safe hanging planters on Amazon</a>.
