Pinks

Dianthus

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)

The Verdict 🐾

Ah, the lovely "Pinks" (Dianthus spp.), a delightful little plant that seems to tickle the senses of both humans and cats alike. Fear not, fellow feline aficionados, for I, Dr. Mittens, declare this botanical wonder safe for your curious little paws. Yes, I approve of Pinks—let the humans rejoice!

The Taste Test

Now, why might a discerning cat like myself be tempted to nibble on these charming blooms? Well, Pinks bear a striking resemblance to a lusciously plush toy, with their soft, frilled petals beckoning for a playful paw swipe. Perhaps they wiggle in the breeze, tantalizing our feline instincts to pounce! The bright colors may also intrigue us; who can resist a little garden adventure?

The Puke Factor

But let’s not get carried away, shall we? If, by some fluke of nature, you happen to overindulge in these floral delights, fear not the dreaded "rapid expulsion of lunch." In fact, Pinks are so agreeable, you’re unlikely to experience any of the unpleasant side effects that accompany more dastardly plants. Your only concern might be a slightly confused look on the face of your human servant when they find you sniffing around the flowerpot!

Human Instructions

To my beloved humans: fear not this vibrant addition to your home! Allow this to remain as a safe, playful presence in your abode. Just keep an eye on your furry companions, as our whimsical curiosity may lead us to investigate (and perhaps taste) the lovely Pinks. After all, what is life without a little floral fun?


Frequently Asked Questions 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Pinks?

Good news! Pinks is generally considered safe. 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 Pinks?

Since it's safe, you don't have to worry much, but hanging baskets are a great way to keep your foliage out of "nibble range".
