Interesting story!

The "Titanic Cat" who foresaw the sinking and retrieved her babies before the ship sailed. 😮

Jenny the cat was the Titanic's mascot, brought on board to help fight rodents. She lived in the ship's galley and was cared for by a laborer named Jim Mulholland.
During the sea trials, Jenny gave birth to kittens and Jim found them a comfortable place next to the ship's galley. Caring for the mother cat and her kittens broke up the monotony of Jim's work preparing the Titanic for sailing. Jenny seemed content with her warm place near the boilers, her babies, and the kitchen scraps that Jim brought her. However, as soon as the ship docked in Southampton, England, just before it began its maiden voyage (to New York), Jenny took a good look at her surroundings and quickly began grabbing her kittens by the necks and carrying them out. One by one, down the gangway she led them out of the ship.

Jim watched her carefully and realized that "this cat must know something that no one else does!". He then quickly gathered his few belongings and left the ship as well.

Years later, Irish Road published Jenny's story after a journalist spoke to a very old man - Jim, who told the story.

He survived thanks to the cat and her kittens who warned him.

Keep your kitty safe during Lily season!

If you think your cat has been exposed, have them seen immediately! The sooner you act, the better the outcome!

Treatment typically consists of IV fluid therapy for 24-48 hours and lab work to check renal (kidney) values. Sometimes by the time your kitty is showing clinical signs at home, it's already too late! So even if it's a possibility of exposure, get your kitty seen! All parts of the plant are toxic!

Tell your friends, family, and florist!!!!

Friendly reminder as we get closer to prime Lily time (Easter), many of these varieties are EXTREMELY TOXIC to cats. ANY PART OF THE PLANT INCLUDING POLLEN can result in acute kidney failure and DEATH!

If you believe your cat has been exposed to a lily, have them evaluated immediately, even if they seem NORMAL! Clinical signs can take 24-48 hours to manifest, and by the time they do....it is often too late!

Therapy for Lily exposure includes checking renal (kidney) values with lab work and the IV fluid diuresis for 24-48 hours.

We hope we do not see ANY cases of lily exposure this year! Please help us and share this critical information with your friends, family, and even your florist!! 😺🌸🌺🌼
