Please always remind readers about the danger Easter Lilies pose to cats. After bringing a plant home this week and finding it with chewed up leaves, something clicked in the back of my mind and I thought to check into them on-line. I learned that it is one of the most deadly plants to cats! Fortunately, I discovered it early and got my cat to the animal hospital right away. $1,000 and one very traumatized kitty later, it is not something I would wish on any cat owner. And we were lucky!!
Good point and thanks for taking the time to tip us off about it. Cats love to chew and there are few plants that are really good for them. It’s hard, but I try to put all my house plants out of reach.
