Cat owners - PLEASE READ

[Nancy5]

I just found out something I never knew.  Lillys are extremely toxic to cats!  If they eat them or even if the pollen from them touches a cat, they will most likely die from kidney failure within 36 hours.  If you have any of these flowers, especially getting a Lilly for Easter, please throw it away if you have cats.  If you don't believe this, please goggle it.  If this saves only one cat it will be worth it.

Damn!...Even the pollen?!...Thank you for the warning!

[Nancy5]

Yes, even pollen.  The pollen sticks to the fur and the cat gromes himself, that's what causes the death. 😥

I had forgot that, thanks for the reminder.

Wow a nature bizarre. Thanks for the information about that.

Never heard this before and my cat likes to nibble on houseplants. So no lilliyies for me.

[betlynjua]

Yes, I have heard this before.  Lilies are very dangerous and this warning must be taken seriously.  We don't have any live plants in the house at all.  I'm not taking any chances.

Oh, you'll be surprised by how many plants are toxic to cats.  For a list, check this one out:

For a list of FOODS that you should never give your cat, here's a pretty good one (which also led me to the list above):

thanks for the tip nancy good to know my cats are indoors but its nice to know how are you doing good i hope i am hanging int here tring to stay strong

[Bonami]

I am not a cat owner but there are plenty of people that are. Anyway, good to know since there are many plants that are toxic to cats so I will spray those plants with natural deterrent so the cats in my neighborhood would avoid them.

no plants in my house

We have four felines and no house plants. Had a fern once and they used it as a landing pad when they'd jump. Or maybe they just liked jumping right into it. Either way no plants in the house. Good to let people know about this. Both for indoor and outdoor cat owners.
