The Verdict 🐾
After extensive paw-sitively rigorous research, I, Dr. Mittens, can confidently declare that the fabulous Red Sage (Salvia elegans) is entirely safe for my human counterparts and their furry companions. Yes, you heard it right! No sneaky toxins here, so I approve of this leafy delight for your homes—just don’t think of it as a replacement for my tuna treats.
The Taste Test
Now, one might ponder why a sophisticated feline such as myself would contemplate nibbling on something as un-fish-like as Red Sage. Perhaps it’s the vibrant green leaves that resemble a miniature jungle gym, or the delightful scent that wafts through the air, tantalizing my ever-curious nose. Or maybe, just maybe, it wiggles in the breeze like a feathery toy just waiting to be pounced upon. Whatever the reason, it certainly raises my whiskers!
The Puke Factor
Should you find your cat indulging in the succulent leaves of Red Sage, fear not! Unlike those wickedly toxic plants that send us into a state of rapid expulsion of lunch, consuming Red Sage merely leads to mild digestive antics. Think of it as a rather unexciting game of “who can outlast the other?”—with no real consequences except for perhaps a slightly upset tummy.
Human Instructions
To my dear human servants, I advise: Allow this to remain in your abode. It serves as a delightful addition to your herb garden, and while I might indulge in a nibble here and there, it’s certainly not on my list of gourmet selections. Just ensure it’s kept far away from my tuna stash!
