Verbascum spp.

✓ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)
Dr. Mittens' Feline Safety Research on Verbascum

The Verdict 🐾

Attention, two-legged creatures! After my extensive research (which mainly involved staring at the plant and contemplating my next nap), I declare Verbascum to be a safe addition to your green kingdom. Yes, you heard it right! Dr. Mittens approves—though I still question your taste in flora.

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why a sophisticated feline like myself might be tempted to nibble on this plant. Firstly, those fuzzy flower spikes have a delightful resemblance to a wiggly mouse toy—if only it squeaked! Furthermore, the leaves look like they could be a cozy blanket for a catnap. Perhaps the allure lies in its feathery charm, inviting a playful swipe or two. Really, humans, it’s a playground for our discerning paws!

The Puke Factor

Should you catch me indulging in this green delight, fear not! There are no catastrophic side effects here. Should I consume a leaf or two, the worst that could happen is a rapid expulsion of lunch—an elegant way of saying “I’m not quite in the mood for salad, thank you very much.” Honestly, it’s all part of the feline experience!

Human Instructions

Dear human servants, since this plant poses no threat to your beloved furry overlords, I advise you to allow this to remain. It adds a touch of whimsy to your indoor jungles, and who knows, I might even grant you a few moments of my time to stare at it together. Just remember, moderation is key—don’t let me turn into a salad-loving kitty!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

Good news! Verbascum 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 Verbascum?

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>.
