Plumeria

Plumeria spp.

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME

The Verdict 🐾

Dr. Mittens here, and I've done a thorough investigation on the plant known as Plumeria. Spoiler alert: it's toxic! That's right, my dear humans, this pretty little flower is not meant for our delicate feline palates. So, as your distinguished Feline Safety Researcher, I must emphatically say: I do NOT approve!

The Taste Test

Now, let's get to the heart of the matter. Why on earth would a cat be tempted to nibble on this flowery fiend? Well, it boasts vibrant colors and a delightful fragrance that might just tickle our whiskers. To a curious cat, it could resemble a fanciful toy or a wiggly creature just waiting to be pounced upon. But beware, dear furballs, this mesmerizing beauty is more illusion than edible delight!

The Puke Factor

If a cat were to indulge in this tempting yet treacherous treat, the consequences could be quite unpleasant. We're talking about a rapid expulsion of lunch, followed by a symphony of gastrointestinal distress. Expect excessive drooling, lethargy, and, if you're particularly unlucky, a dramatic case of the "I-hate-my-life" blues. Not exactly the kind of adventure we’re seeking, is it?

Human Instructions

Listen closely, human servants! If you value our well-being (and your sanity), it’s time to banish this green invader from your abode. Remove the Plumeria from our curious reach, lest we mistake it for a treat instead of a toxic trap. Your furry companions will thank you with purrs and headbutts—no more floral faux pas!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Plumeria?

Caution: Plumeria 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 Plumeria?

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.
