Gelsemium sempervirens

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME
Dr. Mittens' Feline Safety Research on Yellow Jasmine

The Verdict 🐾

Ah, Yellow Jasmine, the lovely yet treacherous plant that seems to whisper sweet nothings while plotting our demise! Let me be clear: this botanical beauty is toxic. No, no, no! Dr. Mittens does NOT approve of this green menace. Keep it away from my paws!

The Taste Test

Now, why on Earth would a curious feline like myself even consider munching on this dangerous shrub? Perhaps its vibrant yellow flowers resemble a delightful toy. Or maybe it wiggles enticingly in the breeze, making it look like a tantalizing prey. Either way, my fellow felines, let’s keep our taste buds away from this faux feline feast!

The Puke Factor

If you, dear human, think I’d enjoy a nibble of Yellow Jasmine, think again! Ingesting this toxic plant could lead to some rather unpleasant side effects. We’re talking about the rapid expulsion of lunch, a.k.a. the dreaded “upchuck” of yesterday’s tuna. Not to mention the potential for excessive drooling—yes, drooling! As if I needed anything else to ruin my impeccable fur!

Human Instructions

Listen up, human servants! It’s time to take action. Banish this green invader from our domain! I suggest a swift and decisive removal, preferably while wearing gloves. Your furry overlord appreciates a safe environment, free from the perils of the Yellow Jasmine. Now, go forth and protect my kingdom!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Yellow Jasmine?

Caution: Yellow Jasmine 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 Yellow Jasmine?

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.
