Oh, Humbug

Caught the bugglecat snacking on spider plant yesterday. He'd mostly just played with it and only eaten a tiny bit so I just moved it out of his reach. Today he is subdued - ate only half his breakfast and none of Leicester's. Research on spider plants discovered that they are not toxic to cats, though they can cause upset tummy, but they are hallucinogenic.
It all makes sense now. Hum is an outdoor cat who spends most of his day prowling through ivy. If he snacked on random plants, he'd have killed himself long ago. But he is a total drug fiend. He also has a delicate digestion that's been set off by reputable brands of cat food. I will keep him inside today and keep an eye on him but I expect he'll soon be back to what passes for normal.

Well now you know! http://pets.thenest.com/spider-plants-hurt-cats-9771.html

I saw no sign of anything other than cat playing with sproingy plant, plant missing some leaves. I suspect the 'hangover' this morning was more to do with his delicate tum than anything else.
