Lilies

Lilium spp.

⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME

The Verdict 🐾

Attention, fellow felines and bewildered humans! The illustrious Dr. Mittens has conducted an extensive investigation into the plant known as the Lily. The findings are in: this plant is toxic! So, to put it bluntly, I do not approve. Keep these leafy impostors away from my territory!

The Taste Test

Now, one must ponder why a curious cat might be tempted to munch on these dangerous blooms. They are quite alluring, with their elegant petals waving in the breeze like a tantalizing feather toy! And let’s be honest, they do have a certain wiggle factor that could easily confuse our feline brains. “Is it a toy? Is it prey?” the mind races before the paws act. But trust me, dear kitties, this is one toy you don’t want to chase!

The Puke Factor

If, by some dreadful chance, you nibble on a Lily, brace yourself for some unpleasant experiences. We’re talking about the rapid expulsion of lunch, perhaps accompanied by the dramatic exit of previously enjoyed tuna! Symptoms might include an upset tummy, drooling, and the unfortunate urge to seek out the nearest litter box. Not exactly the glamorous life we’re accustomed to, is it?

Human Instructions

To my dear human servants: please banish this green invader from our home! There’s no need for your precious plants to pose a threat to my majestic self. Replace them with something safe, perhaps a nice catnip plant that we can frolic with instead. Your cat will thank you, and so will your carpet!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Lilies?

Caution: Lilies 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 Lilies?

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.
