Thymus vulgaris

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)
Dr. Mittens' Feline Safety Research: Thyme

The Verdict 🐾

After thorough investigation (and several naps), I, Dr. Mittens, declare that Thyme is perfectly safe for us distinguished felines! Yes, you heard it right, Humans—this leafy green is not just for your fancy dinners; it's cat-approved! So, feel free to let it thrive in your herb garden. Just don’t expect me to help with the watering.

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why a curious cat might be tempted to nibble on this culinary herb. Thyme has that delightful green color and an aromatic scent that could easily be mistaken for a wiggly toy. And let’s face it, anything that resembles a plaything—but doesn’t actually wiggle—is a prime target for feline investigation. So, if you find me doing my best impression of an epicurean, know it’s the Thyme that has caught my discerning eye!

The Puke Factor

Should you catch me indulging in this herbaceous delight, fear not! The only consequence would likely be a rapid expulsion of lunch—no dramatic flair required! Thyme is as gentle on the feline tummy as a sunbeam on a chilly day. So, no need for the human panic mode; we’re not talking about an alien invasion here!

Human Instructions

Dear Humans, you may confidently allow this charming herb to remain in your abode. Just don’t go thinking you’re off the hook for the real cat treats. Thyme is a lovely addition to your kitchen, but I still expect my tuna served with a side of admiration!


Frequently Asked Questions 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Thyme?

Good news! Thyme 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 Thyme?

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".
