Plumbago auriculata

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)
Dr. Mittens on Plumbago

The Verdict 🐾

Ah, the Plumbago! A fine specimen of greenery, indeed. Good news, dear humans: this delightful plant is completely safe for us sophisticated felines. Unlike some of the other suspicious green things you insist on bringing into our domain, the Plumbago poses no threat to my majestic whiskers. So, yes, Dr. Mittens approves!

The Taste Test

Now, you might wonder why a curious cat like myself would consider nibbling on this plant. Allow me to enlighten you! With its vibrant blue flowers and luscious green leaves, the Plumbago looks like it could easily be one of my beloved toys—especially when the breeze makes it wiggle and dance. It’s almost as if it’s challenging me to a game of "Catch the Green Wiggle." How could I resist?

The Puke Factor

Fear not, dear humans! Should I decide to partake in this charming plant, the consequences are minimal. You see, if I were to engage in a taste test, the most likely outcome would be a rapid expulsion of lunch, but nothing more than that. No need for alarm bells or frantic search parties. Just some mildly embarrassing moments as I rediscover my love for the floor.

Human Instructions

Now, as my loyal servant, you must heed my advice. Since the Plumbago is safe, allow this splendid greenery to remain. Perhaps place it in a spot where I can admire it—or, better yet, where I can plot my next grand adventure with it. Just remember: it’s a plant, not a toy! (But I might disagree).
