Are your plants and bouquets safe for cats?
Identify the plant; separate it if uncertain.
At a glance
Avoid lilies in cat homes; do not wait for symptoms after exposure.
What you can do
- Check the exact name and avoid toxic species.
- Consider pollen, fallen leaves and vase water; height is not isolation.
- Call a vet after suspected exposure with identification and timing.
Common mistakes
Do not induce vomiting or give milk; no plant list covers every hazard.
When to seek help
Seek urgent advice for suspected toxic-plant exposure, especially lilies.
