Dr. Mittens' Scientific Insights on Sweet Marjoram

The Verdict 🐾

Ah, Sweet Marjoram, the aromatic delight that humans seem to adore! Good news, my fellow feline friends: this herb is as safe as a sunbeam on a lazy afternoon. I, Dr. Mittens, wholeheartedly approve of its presence in your human's kitchen. It won't cause you to sprout extra tails or anything of the sort. So, feel free to give your human a side-eye when they rave about it!

The Taste Test

Now, let's ponder why a cat like me might find this herb intriguing. Is it the way it looks, all fluffy and green? Or perhaps the tantalizing scent that wafts through the air, inspiring thoughts of mischief? If I squint just right, it almost resembles a toy! A wiggly, playful little creature that could potentially be chased! I can see why some curious kitties might take a nibble, though I suspect they’d be far better off with a feathered friend instead.

The Puke Factor

In the unlikely event that a daring feline does decide to munch on this herb, the aftermath could involve a rapid expulsion of lunch. Yes, that’s right—one moment they’re savoring the taste of adventure, and the next, it’s a not-so-delightful display of undigested kibble. Fear not, though, as this is more of a dramatic flair than a health hazard!

Human Instructions

To my dear human servants: you may allow this delightful green invader to remain in your abode. It poses no threat to your precious furballs. Just remember, we prefer our catnip over your culinary herbs any day!
