Mosha Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I got a warning from FB. Keep them away from lilies. Cats are highly allergic to the pollen. An FB friend confirmed one of her RL friend's cat became really ill after sniffing a flower. It is potentially fatal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistitikimikis Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 That means also Crinum, plub plueng, so all plants with stamens like these? THANKS for the hint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to look it up. Seriously..Has it been scientifically proven that this lily harmed the cat? Or was this a 1 time incident..

mistitikimikis Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 OUCH! Wikipedia: Toxicity Some Lilium species are toxic to cats. This is known to be so especially for L.longiflorum though other Lilium and the unrelated Hemerocallis can also cause the same symptoms. The truemechanism of toxicity is undetermined, but it involves damage to the renal tubular epithelium (composing the substance of the kidney and secreting,collecting, and conducting urine),which can cause acute renal failure.

mistitikimikis Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Now I'm getting a bit suspicious about the Bauhinia blakeana (Chongpo) as well as: "Danger: Seed is poisonous if ingested, pollen may cause allergic reaction" and the stamens are looking a bit familiar to me.

Too many times i hear too many conflicting tails. Hard to keep track of whats really going on these days. So that's why inquired and also because i care about cats. Thanks Pheew.

Ambrosia Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Poinsettias are also poisonous to pets if they eat them. Seen some growing outside recently big as trees (which surprised me as I've only had potted ones for holiday). I've always had to be careful with what houseplants I have as my cat enjoys eating green things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
