Speedwell

Veronica spp.

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)

The Verdict 🐾

Good news, my fellow felines! Speedwell, or as I like to call it, Veronica, is a perfectly safe plant for us curious kitties to nibble on. Yes, you heard that right—no need for alarm bells or frantic pawing at the door. I, Dr. Mittens, wholeheartedly approve of this botanical specimen. Now, if only the humans could take a few notes from my research on safety…

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why a sophisticated creature such as myself might be tempted to munch on this green delight. Perhaps it’s the vibrant blue flowers that resemble delightful little cat toys, or maybe it’s the way the leaves rustle enticingly in the breeze. Who could resist? They wiggle just enough to pique our interest, like a feather on a string. The humans might call it a garden plant, but to us, it’s an intriguing buffet of possibilities!

The Puke Factor

Fear not, my dear fur friends! Should you decide to partake in this botanical adventure, you can expect nothing more than a mild case of “oops, I shouldn’t have eaten that” followed by a rapid expulsion of lunch—nothing too dramatic, I assure you. Unlike some of that other questionable greenery, Speedwell doesn’t come with a side of catastrophe. Just a little tummy rumble, and then back to chasing dust bunnies!

Human Instructions

Listen up, human servants! Since Speedwell is safe for your furry overlords, I recommend you allow this delightful plant to remain in your abode. Just keep it watered and perhaps sprinkle a little catnip nearby for good measure. After all, we like a little ambiance while we plot world domination (or at least a cozy nap). Cheers to botanical bliss!
