Poison Ivy

Toxicodendron radicans

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Dr. Mittens on Poison Ivy

The Verdict 🐾

Ah, Poison Ivy, the green menace of the garden! Toxic? Absolutely! And I, Dr. Mittens, do not approve of this prickly plant's presence in any respectable feline household. A definite no-go for both cats and humans alike!

The Taste Test

Now, why would a curious cat even consider munching on this green fiend? Perhaps it resembles a tantalizing toy, with its delicate leaves swaying in the breeze, enticing us to pounce! Or maybe it gives off a tantalizing scent that tickles our noses. But let's be honest, if it wiggles, there's a solid chance it’s trouble—just like that pesky laser pointer that keeps eluding me!

The Puke Factor

If a cat were to indulge in this leafy temptation, the results would be catastrophic! Expect a rapid expulsion of lunch, followed by a series of unfortunate tummy rumbles and possibly an itchy, scratchy situation. Not to mention, one might even break out in a rash that would make even the most dignified feline feel utterly disgraced. A dignified cat should never have to deal with such indignities!

Human Instructions

Listen up, human servants! Banish this green invader from your abode posthaste! It is not a plant worthy of your garden or your cat’s curiosity. Instead, opt for catnip—much safer and infinitely more enjoyable for us refined creatures. Keep the Poison Ivy at bay, and let’s stick to the soft, fuzzy things we adore!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Poison Ivy?

Caution: Poison Ivy 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 Poison Ivy?

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.
