Stevia

Stevia rebaudiana

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)

The Verdict 🐾

Ah, Stevia! The sweet little leaf that humans are so fond of. Let me assure you, dear bipeds, this plant is as safe as a sunny windowsill on a lazy afternoon. Dr. Mittens gives it a definitive paw of approval. You can rest easy knowing that this green delight won’t send you into a tailspin of doom. But really, do you need more sweetness in your lives? I mean, have you tasted my purrs?

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why a curious feline like myself might be tempted to nibble on this leafy wonder. It doesn’t wiggle, nor does it have the tantalizing texture of a feather toy. However, it’s green and somewhat fuzzy, which, let’s face it, could make it pass for an exotic plaything! Perhaps I’d mistake it for a new type of grass or a slightly confused cousin of catnip? But alas, it doesn’t emit that delightful aroma that really gets my whiskers twitching.

The Puke Factor

If you, dear humans, were to consume too much of this sweet leaf, the worst you’d face is a bit of a tummy rumble or a rapid expulsion of lunch. However, for us refined felines, the potential for chaos is minimal—let’s just say that our digestive systems are more discerning than yours. I mean, I wouldn’t want to ruin my elegant reputation by overindulging in this harmless herb!

Human Instructions

For all you human servants out there, rejoice! This leafy green is safe to keep around. So, allow this to remain in your home and perhaps let it flourish a bit. Just remember, moderation is key. And while you’re at it, why not focus on acquiring more catnip instead? Priorities, humans!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Stevia?

Good news! Stevia is generally considered safe according to the Dr. Mittens Fur-mula. 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 Stevia?

Since it's safe, you don't have to worry much, but hanging baskets are a great way to keep your foliage out of "pounce range". Check out these <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=cat+safe+hanging+planters&tag=duriancat-20" target="_blank">cat-safe hanging planters on Amazon</a>.
