Title: Dandelion Leaves to make a cat pee?
Post by: Mark on June 10, 2009, 15:14:09 PM
I was over the road earlier chatting to Belinda the herbalist. She said a friend of hers cat just had kittens ( >:(  don't worry, I had words and offered vouchers) and the mum hadn't peed for a couple of days. Belinda advised her to put dandelion leaves down. Apparently the cat ate the leaves and is now peeing. Whether the two things are connected, I have no idea  :evillaugh: (she is like a witch brewing up concoctions over there  :evillaugh: )

Dandelions are a well known diuretic!!  Known in France as pissenlit .....   :evillaugh:

Well dandelion is a diuretic - its recommended on the feline heart group as a safe, gentle diuretic for cats with heart fialure. Mind you, I'm amazed the cat actually ate the fresh leaves - I buy the powdered stuff and sprinkle on Sam's food.  :) - can't see him eating the fresh leaves!

I shouldnt take the p*** (or maybe I should, considering the topic ... :evillaugh:) but it did seem to me if she could convince a cat to eat fresh dandelion leaves she might be a useful friend to have  :sneaky:
