Flame Lily

Gloriosa superba

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME

The Verdict 🐾

Attention, dear humans! Dr. Mittens here, and I must inform you that the Flame Lily (also known as Gloriosa superba) is indeed toxic. Yes, you heard me right! Not all plants are created equal, and this one earns a solid "do not pass go" from yours truly. So, if you care for my well-being (which I know you do, because I’m adorable), keep this fiery feline foe far away from my paws. Approved? Absolutely not!

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why a curious kitty might be tempted to nibble on this dubious greenery. Perhaps its vibrant, flame-like petals resemble a tantalizing toy, beckoning us to pounce! Or maybe it gives off that mysterious, enchanting aroma that makes us think, "Hmm, this could be an excellent snack!" Spoiler alert: it’s not. Just because it looks like a playful snack doesn’t mean it’s a safe one, humans!

The Puke Factor

If, in a moment of sheer folly, a feline should decide to indulge in the Flame Lily, prepare for the rapid expulsion of lunch, followed by what I like to call a "meet-and-greet with the litter box." Symptoms may include excessive drooling, a case of the 'why did I eat that?' regrets, and an overall sense of feline dismay. Trust me, you don’t want to witness that drama!

Human Instructions

So here’s my advice to you, dear human servants: Banish this green invader! The Flame Lily has no place in a cat-friendly domain. Keep your precious furball safe from this botanical blunder, and remember: not everything that looks like fun is safe for a kitty! Now, go forth and protect your fluffball!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Flame Lily?

Caution: Flame Lily is toxic. If your cat has nibbled on it, monitor for symptoms like vomiting, lethargy, or loss of appetite and contact your veterinarian immediately. Do not wait for symptoms to worsen.

How can I keep my cat away from Flame Lily?

Banishment is best. If you must keep it, ensure it is in a room the cat cannot access, or use high, unreachable shelves. Alternatively, consider a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=cat+deterrent+spray+for+plants&tag=duriancat-20" target="_blank">cat-safe deterrent spray</a> to protect both your cat and your greenery.
