Scilla spp.

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Dr. Mittens on Scilla

The Verdict 🐾

Attention, two-legged minions! The Scilla plant, with its alluring blue flowers, is not safe for our feline kind. In scientific terms, it’s a no-go for meow-meows. As your esteemed Feline Safety Researcher, I must firmly declare: Scilla is toxic! Keep it away from our paws, or risk the wrath of Dr. Mittens!

The Taste Test

Why, you ask, would a sophisticated creature like myself be tempted by this wretched plant? Well, those tiny blue flowers might just mimic the tantalizing wiggle of a toy! Or perhaps they resemble the delightful squirm of a hapless insect. I must admit, the allure of a potential snack is hard to resist—until my discerning palate remembers that “looks can be deceiving.”

The Puke Factor

Now, should a curious kitty ignore my sage advice and indulge in this botanical blunder, prepare for the rapid expulsion of lunch! Symptoms may include a rather unflattering display of tummy troubles, such as drooling like a leaky faucet or the sudden urge to perform an interpretive dance with your human’s favorite carpet. Not pretty, I assure you!

Human Instructions

Dear humans, heed my warning! Banish this green invader from your homes immediately! Your feline overlords deserve a safe environment, free from perilous plants. Remember, a happy cat equals a happy home—so keep Scilla out of reach, and all will be well in our kingdom!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Scilla?

Caution: Scilla is toxic. If your cat has nibbled on it, monitor for symptoms like vomiting, lethargy, or loss of appetite and contact your veterinarian immediately. Do not wait for symptoms to worsen.

How can I keep my cat away from Scilla?

Banishment is best. If you must keep it, ensure it is in a room the cat cannot access, or use high, unreachable shelves. Alternatively, consider a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=cat+deterrent+spray+for+plants&tag=duriancat-20" target="_blank">cat-safe deterrent spray</a> to protect both your cat and your greenery.
