It’s Easter week, and that means lilies are everywhere……from supermarkets to roadside stands. But if you’re a cat owner, don’t even think about bringing one of these plants home. And don’t make it your Easter gift to anyone who owns cats.
The FDA released a warning about Easter lilies – as well as Tiger, Asiatic, Day, and Japanese Show lilies. The entire plant is poisonous to cats—even nibbling a leaf can cause acute kidney failure. The FDA also says that even if your cat brushes against the lily flower and gets a few grains of pollen on her fur, and then licks it off, the results can be traumatic.
Symptoms of lily poisoning include vomiting and lethargy. If you suspect that your cat has lily poisoning, rush her to the vet for immediate treatment. For more info: http://
