Lilies
Many lily varieties, including Easter lilies, are poisonous to cats. Exposure to these plants sickens and kills thousands of cats a year, according to the Pet Poison Helpline. Eating a lily can result in Acute Kidney Failure, with symptoms that include drinking and urinating excessively, as well as lethargy, vomiting, and inappetence. More advanced cases will show decreased or no urine production. The Pet Poison Helpline website provides a list of lily species that are toxic to cats. Bottom line, keep lilies away from cats, putting them out of their reach, wherever that may be.
