Ti Plant

Cordyline fruticosa

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME

The Verdict 🐾

Attention, fellow felines and concerned humans! The Ti Plant, or Cordyline fruticosa, is officially on the toxic list. As your esteemed Feline Safety Researcher, I must inform you that this leafy nuisance is best avoided. My judgment? Dr. Mittens does not approve! Keep your paws away from this green fiend.

The Taste Test

Now, let's ponder why some curious kitties might think the Ti Plant is a delectable snack. With its vibrant leaves and luxurious colors, it resembles a fancy feather toy—perfect for batting around! And let's not forget that it waves gently in the breeze, like a tantalizing invitation to pounce. But alas, dear comrades, this is not a toy for the discerning feline palate!

The Puke Factor

If, by chance, you find yourself indulging in this forbidden foliage, prepare for a rapid expulsion of lunch! Symptoms may include excessive drooling, an intense desire to meow in distress, and perhaps an embarrassing dance of discomfort. Yes, my friends, the Ti Plant can cause a kitty to feel quite unwell, leading to a regrettable case of the "hasty hairball hiccup." Best to stick to your catnip, yes?

Human Instructions

Oh, dear human servants, heed my advice: Banish this green invader! Remove the Ti Plant from your abode immediately and replace it with something more palatable for your precious furball—like a nice catnip plant or perhaps a good old-fashioned cardboard box. Your feline companion will thank you with a purr or two!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Ti Plant?

Caution: Ti Plant 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 Ti Plant?

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.
