The Verdict 🐾
Dear human companions, gather 'round! As your esteemed Feline Safety Researcher, I must inform you that Pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium) is decidedly toxic. Yes, you heard it right—this plant is not just a pretty face; it’s a dangerous green menace! I, Dr. Mittens, do not approve of this herbaceous hooligan in any cat's domain.
The Taste Test
Now, let’s ponder why a curious cat might be tempted to nibble on this questionable greenery. Perhaps its delightful aroma mimics that of a tantalizing toy, or maybe it wiggles seductively in the breeze, calling to our inner hunters! Oh, the allure of this plant is strong, but trust me, it’s not the kind of “playtime” we should engage in.
The Puke Factor
Should a brave feline make the unfortunate choice to indulge in this toxic treat, brace yourselves for the consequences! Expect a rapid expulsion of lunch—yes, that means an unpleasant and hasty return of your last meal, followed by a parade of gastrointestinal mischief. And let’s not even discuss the potential for tremors and extra drama! Trust me, it’s not the kind of performance that earns you extra treats.
Human Instructions
Listen closely, my human servants: Banish this green invader from your homes! It poses a danger to our delicate feline systems and is best left to the wilds where it belongs. Replace it with something safe, like catnip—much better for our sophisticated tastes!
