Tree Tobacco

Nicotiana glauca

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Dr. Mittens on Tree Tobacco

The Verdict 🐾

Ah, dear humans, gather 'round! I, Dr. Mittens, must solemnly inform you that Tree Tobacco (Nicotiana glauca) is indeed a toxic green fiend. My expert feline opinion? Banish this green invader from your domain! A cat's life is too precious to be compromised by your questionable horticultural choices.

The Taste Test

Now, one might ponder why a discerning feline such as myself would ever be tempted to nibble on this green mischief. Perhaps it’s the alluringly vibrant leaves that resemble wiggly toys, or the way they flutter in the breeze like a tantalizing feather. Who could resist the urge to investigate? But trust me, humans, just because it looks fun doesn’t mean it is!

The Puke Factor

If a cat were to fall for the charms of Tree Tobacco, the consequences could be dire. Expect what I like to call a "rapid expulsion of lunch," as well as a potential raucous display of drooling and lethargy. Not the kind of party you want to host! Your beloved feline may also experience some serious tummy grumbles—far from the delightful purring you’re used to.

Human Instructions

Heed my advice, dear servants: Banish this green invader from your home! Your feline overlord deserves only the finest, safest greenery. Let’s keep the toxic temptations at bay so we can continue our noble quest for naps and treats without interruption!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Tree Tobacco?

Caution: Tree Tobacco 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 Tree Tobacco?

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.
