Rutabaga

The Verdict 🐾

After extensive whisker-raising research, I, Dr. Mittens, declare the rutabaga to be safe for our human companions. Yes, it won’t turn them into walking catnip, but I approve of this rooty fellow! It’s a win for the humans, though I’m still judging their taste in vegetables.

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why a cat might be tempted to nibble on this peculiar plant. With its round shape and earthy hue, the rutabaga might evoke thoughts of a bouncy ball or a toy waiting to be pounced upon. Plus, it’s got a certain wiggle when it rolls—oh, the intrigue! But let’s be honest, if it doesn’t squeak, it’s likely not worth the effort for a refined feline such as myself.

The Puke Factor

Should a curious kitty decide to indulge in this rooty morsel, the results may lead to a rapid expulsion of lunch. Yes, that means a less-than-pleasant scene of “food redecoration” around the house. However, fear not, dear humans! You’ll see no glittering eyes or dramatic drama—just the usual “Oh no, not again!” routine.

Human Instructions

For you, my human servants, I recommend you allow this nutritious root to remain in your kitchen. It’s safe, and who knows? It might even inspire a new culinary creation to distract you from that endless cycle of cleaning my litter box!
