Rose

The Verdict 🐾

After extensive research conducted from my sunny perch by the window, I, Dr. Mittens, hereby declare the rose (Rosa spp.) to be perfectly safe for feline consumption. Yes, you heard that right! No toxic thorns here—only delightful petals. Approval granted, with a slight eye roll at the fact that "The Humans" still think this flower is only for their olfactory delight.

The Taste Test

Now, one might wonder why a sophisticated feline like myself would even consider nibbling on this flowery contraption. Frankly, it looks suspiciously like a fancy toy, with its vibrant colors and delicate structure, tempting even the most discerning kitty. Additionally, the gentle wiggle of a petal in the breeze can easily ignite a hunt instinct. Who wouldn’t want to pounce on such an exquisite specimen? I, for one, am always on the lookout for something that looks like it could be chased.

The Puke Factor

Should a curious cat (not naming names) decide to indulge in a rose-tasting adventure, the aftermath would likely be rather uneventful. There’s no risk of a dramatic scene involving the rapid expulsion of lunch, as roses are not known to cause any distress. So, in this case, there's no need for a cleanup operation. Just a little bit of flower power and an occasional bemused look from your human.
