Do stinging nettles sting cats the way it does humans?

Yes, stinging nettles can irritate cats similarly to how they affect humans, as they contain tiny, hair-like structures that release a painful substance upon contact. Cats may experience symptoms such as redness, swelling, and itching if they come into contact with the plant. However, the severity of the reaction can vary depending on the cat's sensitivity and the amount of exposure. It's best to keep cats away from stinging nettles to prevent any discomfort.
