Yellow Oleander

Thevetia peruviana

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME

The Verdict 🐾

Attention, fellow feline aficionados! I, Dr. Mittens, must declare that the Yellow Oleander is a resounding toxic foe! Though it may flaunt its vibrant yellow flowers like a feline flaunts a new collar, I do not approve of this botanical blunder. Keep your furry friends away, lest they take a curious nibble and find themselves in a rather unpleasant predicament!

The Taste Test

Now, I must admit, the Yellow Oleander has a certain allure. With its bright, cheerful petals, it might just resemble an enticing new toy—particularly to an inquisitive kitty like myself! Perhaps its wiggly leaves dance in the breeze, mimicking the tantalizing flutter of a butterfly. Who could resist such a siren’s call? But heed my words, dear humans: it's not a toy, and it certainly isn't a snack!

The Puke Factor

Should a brave (or foolish) feline decide to sample this plant, the consequences are dire. Symptoms might include a swift and dramatic rapid expulsion of lunch—a rather ungraceful affair, I might add. Heart palpitations, drooling, and a general feeling of “I regret everything” may also occur. Trust me, no self-respecting cat wants to feel like they’ve just survived a rollercoaster ride after munching on what should be a harmless leaf!

Human Instructions

Dear human servants, the time has come to take action! It’s simple: Banish this green invader from your home before it lures your precious furball into a world of toxicity and regret. Your feline’s health and happiness depend on your vigilance! Remember: if it’s not a catnip plant, it’s best left alone.


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Yellow Oleander?

Caution: Yellow Oleander 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 Oleander?

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.
