Why are you reporting this puzzle?

One of the most beautiful types of flowers are lilies, from slim and elegant Calla or Arum lilies which now come in white, yellow, peach, pink, purple and a maroon so dark it is almost black, to the stately white St Joseph's lilies, the exotic and opulent Stargazer and Tiger Lilies and so on and on. New hybrids are developed each year to delight the eye and nose.

I don't know if you are aware but the lilies beauty can be deadly, especially to cats. Any part of the plant is toxic to cats and even the pollen if brushed against their noses or licked and just one bite can make your cat very sick, and if they are not treated within a reasonable amount of time, death may occur. Unfortunately, there is no antidote for lily toxicity. If you think your cat has ingested a lily plant, this is a life-threatening emergency. Seek veterinary care immediately and have your veterinarian contact an animal poison control center.

The most dangerous and potentially fatal lilies for cats are found in the genus Lilium and Hemerocallis. If you have a cat, we recommend keeping these plants out of your home: Asiatic lily; Day lily; Easter lily; Peace lily; Japanese Show lily; Rubrum lily; Stargazer lily; Tiger lily and Wood lily. Lily of the Valley is also extremely toxic to cats and should also be kept out of the home and garden.

The first signs of lily toxicity in a cat may be seen as early as two hours. In the beginning, you may notice lethargy (low energy level), a loss of appetite, and vomiting. As the condition progresses, tremors and seizures may occur. Prolonged exposure to this toxin will result in dehydration, renal failure, and death if left untreated. If you suspect your cat has ingested any part of a lily plant, even if there may have been a possible exposure to the pollen, seek veterinary attention immediately.

I didn't know about this until recently but feel it is so important to tell people about it. If you want more information you can use these links.
