Spurge

Euphorbia spp.

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME

The Verdict 🐾

Ah, dear humans, gather 'round as I, Dr. Mittens, present my findings on a rather dubious green intruder known as "Spurge." Spoiler alert: this plant is toxic. Yes, you heard it right! If you value my exquisite whiskers and purrs, I must strongly advise against any feline frolicking with this leafy menace. My approval? Not a chance!

The Taste Test

Now, one might wonder why a curious cat like myself would even consider munching on such a villainous vegetation. Perhaps it’s the vibrant green hue that catches our feline eyes, or maybe it resembles a sprightly little toy, just begging to be batted around. But let’s be honest, humans - we often lack the common sense to distinguish between the delightful and the dreadful when it comes to our green snack options. Sigh, your poor judgment knows no bounds!

The Puke Factor

Should a foolish cat decide to engage in a taste test with this botanical blunder, the results could be rather catastrophic. Expect rapid expulsion of lunch, complete with a dramatic flair that only a cat could muster. Symptoms include excessive drooling, stomach churning like a roller coaster, and perhaps a profound existential crisis as we ponder why we ever considered this plant in the first place. In short, it’s an experience we’d rather avoid!

Human Instructions

So, my dear human servants, heed my warning: Banish this green invader from your domain! It poses a danger to your precious furballs. Replace it with something more suitable, like a catnip plant or a feather toy. Your feline overlord will thank you for your diligence!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Spurge?

Caution: Spurge 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 Spurge?

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.
