Lilies are popular flowers but unfortunately many types of lilies are poisonous to cats when eaten. Ingestion of any part of the plant (flower, leaf, stamen, stem, root) can cause death in cats from kidney failure.
Some of the culprits include:
· easter lily
· day lily
· tiger lily
· japanese show lily
· glory lily
· stargazer lily
· rubrum lily
Prevention is easier than cure so it is always best to avoid bringing home lilies into a household with cats. Dogs and other pets are much less likely to be affected.
If you think your cat has eaten part of a lily plant, even if it’s a tiny amount, you should consult your veterinarian immediately.
