Slippery Elm

The Verdict 🐾

In the grand world of plants, Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra) emerges as a safe haven for your feline friends. Yes, dear humans, you heard it right! This plant is as harmless as a catnip mouse, and Dr. Mittens gives it a resounding paws-up. So fret not, my delightful human servants; your precious furballs can frolic near this leafy companion without fear!

The Taste Test

Now, you might wonder why a sophisticated creature like myself would even consider munching on a plant. Well, Slippery Elm has a certain allure—its leaves are soft and wavy, resembling a delightful green toy. One could say it wiggles in the breeze, making it look like an enticing playmate. Perhaps it even hints at a secret treasure of flavor beneath its surface, leading us curious cats to investigate. Who can resist a good investigation?

The Puke Factor

Should a cat decide to indulge in a nibble or two of this plant, the aftermath is quite uneventful. There’s no rapid expulsion of lunch, no dramatic displays of feline distress. Instead, you might witness the occasional “surprised look” as your kitty contemplates whether it was worth it. But rest assured, we won’t be turning your living room into a furry disaster zone. Slippery Elm is about as problematic for us as a missing laser pointer!

Human Instructions

To my dear human companions: Allow this lovely green friend to remain in your home. It’s safe, it’s charming, and it won’t send your feline overlord into a tizzy. Just keep it away from the mysterious concoction you call “cactus”—that one still raises my feline eyebrows!
