⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Dr. Mittens on Tulips

The Verdict 🐾

Attention, bipeds! Gather 'round as I, Dr. Mittens, present my findings on the Tulip. Spoiler alert: this delightful bloom is toxic to our furry kind. My pawsome judgment? Banish this green invader!

The Taste Test

Ah, the Tulip! With its vibrant colors and elegant stature, it's no wonder a curious kitty might think it's a new toy. Could it be a delightful feather? A wiggly worm? No, dear humans, it's just a flower! But let’s face it, when you see something that looks like a toy, what’s a cat to do? Investigate, of course! But trust me, leave it be!

The Puke Factor

If a cat finds themselves nibbling on this pretty plant, they may experience a rapid expulsion of lunch. Yes, I’m talking about that awkward moment when all their carefully curated meals make a swift exit. Symptoms might include drooling, lethargy, and a face that screams, “What have I done?” Not exactly a pleasant experience, I assure you!

Human Instructions

To my human servants: heed my words! Banish this deceptive bloom from your home. It may look lovely, but it harbors danger for your beloved feline. Instead, consider investing in a cat grass garden; now that’s a treat I can get behind!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Tulip?

Caution: Tulip 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 Tulip?

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.
