Salvia

Salvia spp.

āœ“ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)

The Verdict 🐾

Greetings, fellow feline aficionados! I am Dr. Mittens, your esteemed guide in the world of plant safety. Today, we delve into the enchanting realm of Salvia. Fear not, dear kitties and humans alike, for I can declare with a confident flick of my tail that this delightful plant is indeed safe! Yes, you heard me right! Dr. Mittens approves, and I encourage you to let this one frolic in your abode without fear of feline calamity.

The Taste Test

Now, you may wonder why a sophisticated creature such as myself would even consider indulging in a nibble of this leafy delight. Well, dear humans, Salvia has an intriguing appearance—its leaves dance in the breeze, and its vibrant hues may appear as tempting as a shiny ball of yarn! Perhaps it resembles that delightful green toy you think I adore? Who can resist the allure of a wiggle on a sunny windowsill? Not I!

The Puke Factor

Should a curious kitty like myself decide to partake in a taste of Salvia, fret not! The consequences are minimal. Should I overindulge, the most I might experience is a rapid expulsion of lunch—a rather dramatic way to say I might regurgitate my latest meal. However, there’s no need for alarm, as this is merely a temporary setback in my otherwise glorious day of pouncing and napping.

Human Instructions

Now, for my dear human servants, listen closely! Since Salvia is as safe as a cozy lap, I suggest you allow this to remain in your home. It may even add a touch of elegance to your plant collection and provide me with the occasional playful nibble. Just ensure it’s not mistaken for your breakfast, or I might have to give you a judging stare!
