Wake Robin

Trillium erectum

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME

The Verdict 🐾

Ah, the Wake Robin! A delightful-sounding name for a plant that is, in fact, a toxic green menace. As a distinguished Feline Safety Researcher (and a cat, mind you), I must firmly declare: this plant is a no-go for us felines. My approval? Absolutely not. Keep it far away from my domain, humans!

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why some curious kitty might find this plant enticing. Perhaps the Wake Robin's lush, leafy appeal resembles the crinkly texture of one of my favorite toys? Or maybe its vibrant colors beckon like a tantalizing feather? Honestly, humans, you have to admit: we cats have a refined sense of aesthetics. But beware, our instincts might lead us into perilous territory!

The Puke Factor

Should a brave (or foolish) feline decide to sample this dubious greenery, the consequences could be dire. Expect a rapid expulsion of lunch, complete with dramatic flair and a side of remorse. Symptoms can include excessive drooling, a bellyache that would make even the toughest tomcat whimper, and the inevitable regret that follows a poor choice in snack options. Trust me, the taste is not worth the trouble!

Human Instructions

Listen closely, dear human servants: banish this green invader from your living spaces! It’s not just a plant; it’s a potential feline disaster waiting to happen. If you value my well-being (and your furniture), dispose of it immediately. Let’s stick to the catnip, shall we?


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Wake Robin?

Caution: Wake Robin 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 Wake Robin?

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.
