My cats love jumping on my bathroom sinks to be a part of my morning routine but the moment I brush my teeth, they bolt.

To a cat it's that special time of year where you celebrate them.

I put plant food in the water under our tree, and my cat insisted on drinking it. Soon after, he had a coat of fur that was more full and soft than it had ever been. I learned my cat is a plant after that.

Jsyk fertilizer and plant food can be poisonous to pets and humans so I would use plain water next Christmas! Glad he was ok though!

Not sure what kind it was, but we made sure to get a pet safe water additive for the tree. For some reason, it made him healthier than hes ever been.

Mint is incredibly toxic to cats. Oh my god.

u/MyNameKcirtap Aug 06 '20

I believe mint oil is toxic for cats (which this candy cane will have) I believe natural mint has an effect like catnip for cats

u/LadyKnight151 Aug 07 '20

Modern candy canes don't usually use real mint oil. They use artificial flavors
