Lily of the valley contains a cardiotoxin that is poisonous to your cat’s heart function, causing abnormal heart rhythms ( arrhythmias) and even death.Lilies listed from MOST to LEAST toxic to cats: Ingesting just small pieces of the petals, leaves, or even the pollen or water in the vase can result in severe, potentially irreversible and fatal kidney failure. While the exact toxin has not been identified, exposure to any part of the plant can cause sudden kidney failure and even neurological signs in cats. Two species of toxic lilies were in the top five common exposures in 2020: true lilies ( Lilium species) and daylilies ( Hemerocallis species), which can both cause kidney failure in cats. Many kinds of plants have “lily” as part of their name, but not all contain the same toxins. Households with cats should not have lilies inside the home or in the yard where cats can get near them.
While harmless to people, lilies are extremely poisonous and potentially fatal to cats. They’re frequently displayed around Easter and Mother’s Day but often included in flower arrangements year-round. Colorful, unique, and fragrant, lilies are one of the most popular flowers in the world.
