Dr. Mittens on Sage

The Verdict đŸŸ

After careful consideration (and a few obligatory naps), I, Dr. Mittens, declare the plant known as sage to be perfectly safe for feline consumption! Yes, humans, you heard it right. It's not a green menace lurking in your herb garden; rather, it's a non-toxic, delightful addition to your household. I graciously approve of this herbaceous companion!

The Taste Test

Now, one might ponder why a sophisticated feline such as myself would ever contemplate nibbling on sage. Well, let’s be honest: it has a somewhat intriguing, fuzzy texture that could easily be mistaken for a delightful toy! Not to mention, its leaves flutter in the breeze like a tantalizing feather. If I had a dollar for every time a human ignored my fascination with the plant world, I could fund a catnip empire!

The Puke Factor

Should a curious kitty decide to sample this herb, the aftermath is likely to be uneventful. In my extensive research, I found that sage doesn’t induce the dreaded rapid expulsion of lunch. Instead, you might experience a mild case of "what was I thinking?"—a moment of regret, perhaps, but no ill effects. How refreshing! Unlike certain other green things (looking at you, lilies), sage is a safe bet.

Human Instructions

To my dear human companions: Allow this delightful green herb to remain in your abode! It’s completely safe and may even make your cooking smell better—though I am more interested in its potential as a chew toy. Just remember, moderation is key. We wouldn’t want you to think I’m a salad enthusiast, now would we?


Frequently Asked Questions đŸŸ

What happens if my cat eats Sage?

Good news! Sage is generally considered safe. 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 Sage?

Since it's safe, you don't have to worry much, but hanging baskets are a great way to keep your foliage out of "nibble range".
