Lethal Lillies

Act Fast if you think your cat has eaten or come into contact with any part of a lily get him to a vet as quickly as possible (do the same if he/she collapses suddenly, vomits repeatedly, has severe diarrhoea or shows signs of irritation to the mouth or throat).
Be very careful about which cut flowers you introduce to your home or which plant species you introduce to the garden.
Plants to be wary of  include:  Lilies - any species / cyclamen / poinsettia / amaryllis / laburnum / plants with berries / toadstools.  The Feline Advisory Bureau has a list of over 200 plants which are potentially poisonous to cats (www.fabcats.org/hiddendangersofplants.html).  Cats are generally careful about what they eat and poisoning is rare - why not give your cat something he/she can nibble on? - Grow a pot of cat grass - you will find growing kits in your pet shop.
