Rosemary

Salvia rosmarinus

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)

The Verdict 🐾

Ah, Rosemary, the fragrant herb that humans seem to adore! Fear not, dear felines, for this green delight is deemed safe for our curious little mouths. Dr. Mittens gives a resounding paws up to this aromatic specimen. While the humans sprinkle it on their roasts, we can rest easy knowing it won’t send us into a tailspin of doom.

The Taste Test

Now, you might wonder why a sophisticated feline like myself would ever be tempted to nibble on this spiky green shrub. Well, for starters, it looks rather like a fuzzy toy that just might wiggle enticingly in the breeze. Plus, let’s face it—anything that smells as good as a fancy dinner is worth investigating. And if it happens to taste like a vacation in a Mediterranean garden, who’s to judge?

The Puke Factor

Should you, in a moment of misguided curiosity, decide to munch on Rosemary, fret not—no rapid expulsion of lunch will occur! In fact, the only symptom you might encounter is an overwhelming urge to strut around like you own the place, possibly accompanied by a slight drooling. However, if you find yourself unexpectedly pawing at the air, it’s just your inner gourmet chef trying to escape!

Human Instructions

For you, my human servant, the message is clear: Allow this to remain! Decorate your culinary creations to your heart’s content, and perhaps leave a little sprig out for your discerning feline palate. Just don’t expect us to cook with it—we have more important things to do, like napping and judging your life choices.
