If you are a flower lover who loves flowers, but you are also a cat person, then you must read this article. Because these flowers can cause harm to your cat, and in serious cases, they can also affect the life of the cat! Come and follow Huahua to take a look!

 Azalea

White azaleas are more dangerous to cats. Because according to scientific research, white rhododendron contains a toxin called tetracyclic diterpene. Animals such as cats have basically no ability to identify white azaleas. They often cannot identify these flowers and eat them by mistake, causing cats to vomit and become paralyzed.

Therefore, if you have cat lovers at home, try not to raise white azaleas at the same time!

 Darcissus

Narcissus is a fragrant flower, but narcissus is also very toxic. The entire narcissus flower is poisonous, especially the narcissus bulbs. The narcissus bulbs contain a white mucus that can irritate cats' gastrointestinal tract, causing them nausea, vomiting, and even drowsiness and coma.

The flowers and leaves of narcissus contain narcissus, which can cause general paralysis and convulsions in cats if they accidentally eat it. Generally, lily flowers will cause some harm to cats. Huahua believes that if there are cats at home, try not to breed daffodils, hyacinths and other flower varieties.

 Lily

The toxicity of lilies to cats cannot be ignored. Lilies contain insoluble calcium oxalate, which is very harmful to cats. If a cat accidentally eats or comes into contact with pollen, it may cause dizziness and vomiting, which may cause kidney failure in severe cases.

If your cat accidentally comes into contact with lily pollen, give the cat a bath as soon as possible. Prevent cats from being poisoned by cleaning their own fur. If your cat is found to have eaten lilies for the first time, you should send it to the hospital as soon as possible, even if your cat has not shown obvious symptoms of discomfort, because once symptoms are found in your cat, it will be irreversible damage.

Asparagus

The entire Asparagus plant is toxic. If a cat accidentally eats it, it will cause vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, and in severe cases, it may even paralyze the cat's nervous system and lead to death.

I have heard from many florists that their cats always eat asparagus. Here, Huahua can give you some advice. As an alternative, you can raise a pot of green plants that are harmless to cats to attract cats to reduce the number of cats eating asparagus.

 Ivy

When cat owners go out with their cats, they should also pay attention to the green plants on the roadside. Because ivy is also a plant that is harmful to cats. Ivy usually covers the ground when it grows, and it is easy for cats to come into contact with it and eat it accidentally. If a cat accidentally eats ivy, it may cause shortness of breath, coma, etc., or it may cause gastrointestinal injury or even death.

Therefore, if you flower lovers want to take your cat out for a walk, you must stay away from places with lush ivy.

Looking at these flowers, Huahua feels that life is so magical. Cats and Huahua are both beautiful species of life, but different species can also be in conflict with each other.
