⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Dr. Mittens on the Peace Lily

The Verdict 🐾

Ah, dear humans, gather 'round and listen closely! The Peace Lily, while named for tranquility, is anything but safe for my feline friends. Yes, you heard it right—this plant is toxic! As the esteemed Dr. Mittens, I must declare a firm disapproval of this leafy menace lurking in your homes. Keep it away from my paws!

The Taste Test

Now, if one were to ponder why a sophisticated feline like myself might be tempted by the Peace Lily, it’s quite simple. Its glossy green leaves look suspiciously like a toy—and let’s not forget the alluring white flowers, which could easily be mistaken for a fluffy feather! And if it happens to wiggle in the breeze? Well, my curiosity is piqued. But alas, dear humans, looks can be deceiving!

The Puke Factor

Should any curious kitty dare to munch on this deceptive plant, prepare for a real show! The symptoms include an unfortunate rapid expulsion of lunch, perhaps some dramatic gagging, and possibly a case of the droolies. Trust me, no dignified cat wants to endure such indignities. We prefer our meals on a plate, thank you very much!

Human Instructions

Listen closely, you well-meaning but misguided humans: Banish this green invader! If you truly care for your feline overlords, remove the Peace Lily from your abode immediately. Our safety is paramount, and we demand only the finest (non-toxic) greenery!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Peace Lily?

Caution: Peace Lily 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 Peace Lily?

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.
