Tickseed: A Feline Perspective

The Verdict 🐾

After extensive examination of the plant known as Tickseed (Coreopsis to the fancy-pants humans), I, Dr. Mittens, am pleased to declare that this verdant specimen is quite safe for us feline connoisseurs. Yes, you heard it right! No toxic shenanigans here, so you can rest easy while I supervise your gardening endeavors.

The Taste Test

Now, why might a discerning feline such as myself find Tickseed appealing? Perhaps it’s the bright, sun-kissed petals that resemble a delightful toy, just waiting to be pounced upon! Or maybe it’s the gentle sway in the breeze that mimics the tantalizing wiggle of a particularly intriguing insect. Either way, humans, you need to understand that my curiosity knows no bounds, and if it looks fun, I just might take a nibble!

The Puke Factor

Fear not, fellow felines! Should your human find you nibbling on this innocent plant, the worst consequence you might face is a rapid expulsion of lunch. Don’t worry, it’s not dramatic – just an enthusiastic, albeit messy, display of your disdain for their choice of greenery. So unless you have an aversion to a little cleanup, you’re in the clear!

Human Instructions

Dear human servants, I advise you to allow this splendid little plant to remain in your garden. It poses no threat to our royal feline selves, and who knows? It might just brighten up your dull little human lives. But remember to keep your distance while I conduct my experiments!


Frequently Asked Questions 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Tickseed?

Good news! Tickseed 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 Tickseed?

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".
