2024 edition SIClet Standard issue baby
My almost six month old hotrod baby Helmi is living a life of chaos! She loves to bap bap bap my plants but doesn't care to eat them, which I'm very grateful for.

Aww... she looks so much like my 2018 edition when I first got her! Mine also likes to pet the plants (even the cactus) but will only chew on the schefflera leaves she knocks off.

Schefflera are toxic to cats and dogs. You might want to stop her chewing on the leaves.

Am I going to get sucked into another argument with someone who doesnât understand âthe dose makes the poisonâ here? Because according to Reddit âexpertsâ my orange cat is already dead from licking a popsicle stick.
Oxalates are in all sorts of common foods - spinach, potatoes, lentils - which are also in quality pet foods. She isnât chomping down whole mouthfuls; she doesnât have enough molars left to efficiently chew leaves.

My orange cat is just fine, by the way, except she is currently mad at the blanket on the sofa because it keeps zapping her with static no matter how much she cuddles it.

Looks a lot like my 14.5 year old baby Sushi. She's the best companion đ©¶
