Peperomia

Peperomia spp.

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)

The Verdict 🐾

Fear not, my dear humans! The Peperomia is as safe as a sunbeam on a lazy afternoon. Yes, you heard it right—this delightful little plant does not pose a threat to your feline friends. As Dr. Mittens, your esteemed Feline Safety Researcher, I hereby give it my paws of approval! Feel free to let it flourish in your home without the fear of a four-legged disaster.

The Taste Test

Now, why might an adventurous kitty like myself be tempted to nibble on this succulent? Well, the Peperomia's plump, glossy leaves are reminiscent of my favorite crinkly toys—so shiny and inviting! The way they wiggle when I give them a gentle swat is just too tempting to resist. It’s almost like they’re begging for a little exploratory chomping. Oh, the mystery of the green snack! Surely, I must investigate.

The Puke Factor

Should you find your curious kitty having a little taste of this green delight, fret not! The worst that might happen is the rapid expulsion of lunch, followed by a rather dramatic flounce. Symptoms may include an insistent urge to show off all that uneaten kibble and perhaps a look of utter betrayal toward the plant. But fear not, my fellow felines, for the Peperomia is not a villain in this tale!

Human Instructions

To my human servants, I say this: Allow the Peperomia to remain in your dwelling! It’s a splendid addition to your indoor jungle, providing both aesthetic pleasure and a safe space for your furry overlords to roam. Just keep an eye on us—curiosity might get the best of us, but I assure you, it’s all in the name of science!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

Good news! Peperomia 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 Peperomia?

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>.
