Verbena

Verbena officinalis

โœ“ MEOW APPROVED (SAFE)
Dr. Mittens on Verbena

The Verdict ๐Ÿพ

After extensive research (mostly napping near the plant), I, Dr. Mittens, declare Verbena to be utterly safe for feline consumption! Yes, humans, rejoice! I approve of this leafy delight that poses no threat to my delicate constitution. Paws up for Verbena!

The Taste Test

Now, why on Earth would a sophisticated feline like myself be tempted to nibble on this green wonder? Perhaps its spindly stems look like they could be the perfect toy for an afternoon pouncing session! Or maybe its gentle swaying in the breeze resembles a wiggly prey item, beckoning me to investigate. Humans, I must say, your plants are sometimes more enticing than your laser pointers!

The Puke Factor

Fear not, should you find me munching on this delightful greenery! The worst that could happen is a rapid expulsion of lunch. A few unfortunate burps might follow, but I assure you, my dignity will remain intact (mostly). No dramatic disasters here, just a slightly confused kitty wondering why you humans make such a fuss over a harmless snack!

Human Instructions

Dear human servants, fret not about Verbena! Allow this charming plant to remain in your abode. It poses no threat to your feline overlords. In fact, it may even enhance our royal aesthetic! Just keep the catnip at a safe distance, lest I declare a turf war!
