As we all know, cats are curious creatures. Their instinct is to investigate, discover, and explore; always poking their paws in boxes and squeezing themselves into tight places. It is important if you are buying flowers for your home or an upcoming event to be wary of the types of flowers that can be toxic to your feline friends.

 

Important Pet Safety Note:

This guide is for general awareness and should not replace veterinary advice. 

If you think your cat has eaten, chewed or been in contact with a toxic flower or plant, contact the vets immediately. If possible, take a photograph of the flower or keep the product label to share with your vets. 

 

Quick Answer

 

If you have cats, we strongly recommend avoiding lilies completely. 

Lilies are extremely dangerous for cats, including the flower, leaves, pollen, stems and even water from the vase.
