8. Lilies
Also known as Easter Lily, Day Lily, Japanese Lily, Stargazer, Tiger Lily, Red Lily, Western Lily, Lily of the Valley, and Wood Lily.
This flowering plant is poisonous to cats, with moderate to severe toxic reactions.
Not all lilies are toxic, so it is important to know the difference. True lilies, such as those noted here, are highly toxic and can result in death with only a small amount ingested.
The toxic component of the lily is not known, but very small amounts of any part of the plant can result in sudden and severe kidney failure.
The toxins can also be carried by the pollen of the plant, and in the water the plant is placed in.
Immediate and aggressive veterinary care is necessary for survival.
