Cat Ailments A to Z - Lily Plant Poisoning

Fantastic band name... 
My job should be to name things...

The Lily is one of the most Toxic household plants
Eating as little as two or three leaves from the flowers can result in liver failure
If left untreated it may be Fatal to Cats.
Death can occur within 4 To 7 Days
Shorter if a larger amount of the plant has been ingested 

Lilium and Hermerocallis 

Members of the band?
Could be.. but no. 

All Lilies are considered toxic to cats.

Members of the Lilium and Hermerocallius genera are considered to be most toxic to cats.

These include

The Easter Lily 

 The Tiger Lily

 The Stargazer Lily

 The Day Lily

 
Keep in mind that each type of lily could variations on colour, hybrids, and 
I know very little about flowers. 
This site sells all sorts of flowers...it has pretty pictures

 Important Facts

• All parts of the lily plant are considered toxic
• There is no at home treatment for lily poisoning 
• It does not take much to cause an issue or reaction 
• Just because you put it out of reach - does not mean it is out of your cats reach
• If you have an indoor outdoor cat be sure your garden is free of lilies
• If you allow your pet to wander outdoors - a neighbour may have Lilies in their garden - this is their property, they can do as they please. Your cat does not care who's property it is.
