⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Peony: A Feline Perspective

The Verdict 🐾

Ah, the Peony—this vibrant bloomer may charm your human with its flamboyant petals, but I must regrettably declare it toxic! Yes, you read that right, dear humans. It’s a no-go from Dr. Mittens. If you value your feline’s health, keep this beauty at bay!

The Taste Test

Now, why might a curious cat like me consider nibbling on this flowery fiend? Well, let’s be real. The Peony boasts a luscious array of colors that could easily be mistaken for a delightful plaything. Its petals flutter softly in the breeze, almost as if they’re beckoning me to pounce. But alas, my instincts tell me this is not a toy but a treacherous trap—one that leads to an upset tummy rather than a triumphant catch!

The Puke Factor

If by some unfortunate turn of events a feline were to indulge in this forbidden flora, the results could be quite dire. Expect a rapid expulsion of lunch, accompanied by a cacophony of gurgles and grumbles. Symptoms may include excessive drooling, lethargy, and an overall look of ā€œWhat have I done?ā€ Trust me, humans, no cat wants to experience the horror of a Peony-flavored regurgitation!

Human Instructions

Listen closely, human servants! Banish this green invader from your domain. No need for fancy arrangements with toxic plants around—opt for catnip instead! Your feline overlord will thank you for keeping our kingdom safe from floral mischief!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Peony?

Caution: Peony 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 Peony?

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.
