The Verdict 🐾

Ah, the spruce tree! A majestic specimen of the coniferous family, and guess what? It’s safe! That’s right, dear humans, Dr. Mittens gives a paws-up to this evergreen delight. No need to panic if I decide to nibble on a twig or two. However, I do suggest you keep your eyes on me, lest I mistake it for one of your delightful but utterly non-edible toys.

The Taste Test

Now, one must ponder why a sophisticated feline such as myself might find the spruce appealing. Perhaps it’s the way those sharp little needles resemble the finest playthings, poking out in all directions. Or maybe it’s the delightful scent that wafts through the air, whispering sweet nothings about the great outdoors. The way it stands tall and proud just begs for a curious paw to investigate. Is it a toy? Is it a snack? The mystery is tantalizing!

The Puke Factor

Should you find me in a fit of munching frenzy, fear not! The spruce is not known to cause any distress. In the unlikely event I overindulge, expect nothing more than the rapid expulsion of lunch—an elegant way to say, “Oops, that was a mistake!” But worry not, my human; I’m a seasoned gourmet, and my taste buds are very discerning (most of the time).

Human Instructions

So, dear humans, what’s your move? Allow this green invader to remain! Spruce trees can be a delightful addition to your garden, as long as you keep a watchful eye on your furry overlords. Just remember, no nibbling on the non-plant-based items around the house—those are mine!


Frequently Asked Questions 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Spruce?

Good news! Spruce is generally considered safe. While a large amount might cause a mild tummy upset (standard cat logic), it is not toxic.

How can I keep my cat away from Spruce?

Since it's safe, you don't have to worry much, but hanging baskets are a great way to keep your foliage out of "nibble range".
