Gloriosa Lily

Gloriosa superba

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME

The Verdict 🐾

Attention, fellow felines and our ever-clumsy human companions! The Gloriosa Lily, while it may look like a colorful party hat for your paw, is decidedly toxic. So, paws off, my furry friends! Dr. Mittens does NOT approve of this leafy intruder. Keep your whiskers away!

The Taste Test

Now, let’s ponder why a curious cat might be tempted to nibble on this wicked plant. With its vibrant petals resembling a toy from the fanciest pet boutique, one might mistake it for a delightful plaything! And those wiggly stems? Oh, they could easily be mistaken for a playful snake, luring us into a trap of poor choices. But heed my warning, dear kitties: this isn’t a toy, it’s a toxic trick!

The Puke Factor

Should you foolishly snack on this botanical blunder, prepare for some serious consequences! You might experience a rapid expulsion of lunch, followed by the general feeling of regret and questioning your life choices. Symptoms can include excessive drooling (like you’ve just caught the dreaded hairball), a tummy that rumbles louder than a thunderstorm, and, worst of all, a general malaise that makes you wish you had just stuck to your kibble.

Human Instructions

Listen up, human servants! It’s time to take action. Banish this green invader from your home! This plant is not a friendly companion; it’s a diabolical danger to my furry brethren. So, toss it out like yesterday’s tuna, and let’s keep our living space safe for the true rulers of the household: us cats!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Gloriosa Lily?

Caution: Gloriosa 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 Gloriosa 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.
