Trellis Vine

Mikania micrantha

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)

The Verdict 🐾

After extensive paw-formance evaluations and thorough whisker inspections, I, Dr. Mittens, hereby declare the Trellis Vine (also known as Humulus lupulus) to be utterly safe for our feline friends. Yes, humans, you can breathe easy; this plant poses no threat to my fellow four-legged connoisseurs of chaos. I approve of its presence in your homes—just don’t expect me to thank you for it.

The Taste Test

Now, you may wonder why a sophisticated feline such as myself would even entertain the thought of munching on this vine. Perhaps it resembles a delightful toy, with its twisting tendrils and leafy appendages begging to be batted about. Or maybe it wiggles in the breeze, luring us with its playful antics. Either way, it’s a prime candidate for inspection by my delicate paws—after all, a cat’s curiosity is more powerful than catnip!

The Puke Factor

Oh, fear not! Should a curious cat decide to take a nibble on this vine, the result will likely be a rapid expulsion of lunch, accompanied by the characteristic look of betrayal that only a cat can muster. Fortunately, no serious symptoms will follow—just a minor faux pas in the grand culinary adventure of life. Why do humans seem concerned? We have a way of clearing our systems, thank you very much!

Human Instructions

Dear human servants, this is one of those rare occasions where I must advise you to allow this to remain in your home. The Trellis Vine is a charming addition to your botanical collection. Just ensure it’s out of reach of your feline overlord—because you never know when curiosity might strike!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

Good news! Trellis Vine is generally considered safe according to the Dr. Mittens Fur-mula. 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 Trellis Vine?

Since it's safe, you don't have to worry much, but hanging baskets are a great way to keep your foliage out of "pounce range". Check out these <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=cat+safe+hanging+planters&tag=duriancat-20" target="_blank">cat-safe hanging planters on Amazon</a>.
