Silver Ragwort

Senecio cineraria

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Dr. Mittens on Silver Ragwort

The Verdict 🐾

Silver Ragwort, dear humans, is not just a charming green invader; it’s a toxic menace! As your esteemed feline safety researcher, I must firmly declare this plant a big NO for your curious little paws. Dr. Mittens does not approve of this leafy fiend!

The Taste Test

Now, why might a cat be tempted to nibble on this villainous vegetation? Perhaps its silvery leaves glisten like a shiny toy, or maybe they wiggle enticingly in the breeze. But let’s be honest: any cat with half a brain should realize that not everything that glitters is gold—some of it is just toxic foliage pretending to be fun!

The Puke Factor

If you, my dear feline friends, are unfortunate enough to indulge in this toxic treat, prepare for a rapid expulsion of lunch! Symptoms may include a wild case of the “oopsies,” drooling that could fill a bowl, and a dizzy spell that makes you question your life choices. Think of it as your body’s way of saying: “What were you thinking?”

Human Instructions

Listen closely, human servants! Banish this green invader from your abode! It has no place in our kingdom of safety and comfort. If you truly care for your feline overlords, remove this toxic traitor from your plants and never look back!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Silver Ragwort?

Caution: Silver Ragwort 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 Silver Ragwort?

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.
