⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Dr. Mittens on Paper White

The Verdict 🐾

Attention, esteemed humans! The plant known as "Paper White" is a confirmed member of the toxic family. As your distinguished Feline Safety Researcher—who also happens to have an impeccable sense of smell—I must firmly advise against allowing this particular green menace into our hallowed domain. Thus, I do not approve!

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why any self-respecting feline might consider nibbling on this plant. With its delicate white flowers, it could easily be mistaken for a fancy toy, perhaps a feather on a string! And let’s not forget the allure of its leaves, which might just wiggle enticingly in the breeze. But alas, dear humans, looks can be deceiving!

The Puke Factor

If by some unfortunate event a curious cat decides to munch on this toxic delight, the consequences could be dire. Symptoms may include an unexpected and rapid expulsion of lunch, followed by excessive drooling and an overall sense of displeasure. Trust me, no feline wants to feel like a walking blender!

Human Instructions

To my beloved human servants: banish this green invader! Your feline companions deserve only the finest and safest greenery. Instead, invest in some cat grass—our tummies will thank you, and we won’t have to perform any dramatic expulsions!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Paper White?

Caution: Paper White is toxic. If your cat has nibbled on it, monitor for symptoms like vomiting, lethargy, or loss of appetite and contact your veterinarian immediately. Do not wait for symptoms to worsen.

How can I keep my cat away from Paper White?

Banishment is best. If you must keep it, ensure it is in a room the cat cannot access, or use high, unreachable shelves. Alternatively, consider a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=cat+deterrent+spray+for+plants&tag=duriancat-20" target="_blank">cat-safe deterrent spray</a> to protect both your cat and your greenery.
