Cats are naturally curious creatures, but some houseplants and flowers can pose serious risks to their health.

Here are some common plants that are toxic to cats:
1. Lilies: Extremely toxic and can cause kidney failure in cats, even from small exposures like licking pollen.
2. Mistletoe: Toxic to cats and can cause gastrointestinal upset and cardiovascular issues.
3. Poinsettia: Although often listed as toxic, it usually causes mild irritation rather than severe toxicity.

When thinking of holiday gifts be sure to consider pet safe plants instead.

If your cat is exposed to a toxic plant, contact your veterinarian immediately.

Next week is Valentine’s Day 💕 and the U.S. alone is estimated to spend over $2 billion on flowers, many of which can be seriously toxic to our cats and dogs. Before you buy that beautiful bouquet for someone with pets, stop and check that you’re not accidentally gifting them something dangerous – their pets will thank you for it!
