⚠ TOXIC - BANISH FROM HOME

The Verdict 🐾

Oh, dear humans, gather 'round as I, Dr. Mittens, the esteemed Feline Safety Researcher, deliver some shocking news about the notorious Tiger Lily. Spoiler alert: this plant is toxic. Yes, you heard me right! One nibble of this floral foe could lead to a feline fiasco, so I do not approve. Consider this a formal notice to remove this botanical menace from your homes!

The Taste Test

Now, one might ponder, why would a sophisticated feline like myself even consider sampling such a perilous plant? Perhaps it’s the vibrant colors that make it look like a fancy toy, or the way its petals sway gently in the breeze, enticing me to pounce. Or maybe, just maybe, it's the sheer audacity of humans who think we won’t investigate what they so carelessly place in our domain. Whatever the reason, let me assure you, it’s a trap!

The Puke Factor

If a curious kitty were to succumb to the temptation of the Tiger Lily, the aftermath wouldn’t be pretty. Symptoms could include an unfortunate case of rapid expulsion of lunch, resulting in an unsightly mess on your favorite rug. Other delightful effects may include drooling, lethargy, and gastrointestinal distress. In layman's terms, it’s a one-way ticket to a very uncomfortable day for your furball!

Human Instructions

Now, heed my advice, dear humans: banish this green invader from your home! If you value my life and your sanity, do not allow this toxic terror to dwell amongst us. Consider it an act of love to keep your feline companion safe and sound, free from the perils of the Tiger Lily!


Dr. Mittens' Safety FAQ 🐾

What happens if my cat eats Tiger Lily?

Caution: Tiger 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 Tiger 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.
