Snowball

Euphorbia leuconeura

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME

The Verdict 🐾

Attention, esteemed humans and fellow felines! I, Dr. Mittens, must urgently inform you that the plant known as "Snowball" is indeed toxic. Yes, you heard that right! While it may look like a fluffy cloud of fun, it is no friend to our sensitive feline systems. I do not approve of this green menace, and I strongly advise you to keep it away from my majestic paws.

The Taste Test

Now, one might ponder why a curious cat would ever be lured into nibbling on such a deceivingly delightful plant. Perhaps it resembles an enticing toy, all fluffy and round, just begging for a pounce. Or maybe it wiggles in the breeze like a teasing mouse! Whatever the reason, let me assure you, dear humans, that this plant is not the delectable treat it appears to be.

The Puke Factor

If one were to indulge in this toxic treasure, the consequences could be quite unfortunate. Picture this: rapid expulsion of lunch, accompanied by the unmistakable sound of regret echoing through the house. Symptoms may include excessive drooling, dramatic pacing, and the infamous "I feel like a hairball" face. Trust me, it’s not a pretty sight, and I’d prefer to keep my meals down, thank you very much!

Human Instructions

Dear human servants, do yourself a favor—banish this green invader from your home! It may look cute, but it harbors dangers that could turn your feline friend into a furball of distress. Choose plants wisely, for the safety of your precious purring companions depends on it. Now, go forth and protect us from this fluffy foe!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Snowball?

Caution: Snowball 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 Snowball?

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.
