Redwood

Sequoiadendron giganteum

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)

The Verdict 🐾

Ah, the mighty Redwood! A towering giant in the plant kingdom and, to my delight, completely safe for us discerning felines. That’s right, humans, you can relax—Dr. Mittens gives this botanical behemoth a resounding thumbs-up! (Well, if I had thumbs.) No need to worry about your whiskered friend nibbling on these magnificent trees. Consider them the gentle giants of the plant world.

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why a curious kitty might contemplate munching on a Redwood. With its rough, textured bark and towering stature, it may resemble a delightful scratching post or an oversized chew toy. The way those leaves flutter in the breeze might just convince a cat that they are enticing little critters begging to be pounced upon. Alas, I must inform you, dear humans, that we cats are not particularly interested in the taste of wood—perhaps a miscalculation on your part!

The Puke Factor

In the event that a cat does mistakenly indulge in a Redwood feast, fret not! There will be no dramatic scenes of rapid expulsion of lunch or any other such theatrics. Since this tree is non-toxic, the only "puke factor" you may encounter is perhaps a bemused expression from your kitty, wondering why on earth the human would think this is edible. So, no need to brace for a feline reenactment of a horror film!

Human Instructions

To all you human servants out there, here’s the scoop: Allow this magnificent tree to remain in your garden! It’s a safe companion for your furry overlords, and it offers a splendid backdrop for the occasional sunbeam nap. Just be sure to keep the catnip away—those are the real troublemakers!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Redwood?

Good news! Redwood is generally considered safe according to the Dr. Mittens Fur-mula. 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 Redwood?

Since it's safe, you don't have to worry much, but hanging baskets are a great way to keep your foliage out of "pounce range". Check out these <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=cat+safe+hanging+planters&tag=duriancat-20" target="_blank">cat-safe hanging planters on Amazon</a>.
