Potted plants that are harmful to cats:

1. Lilies

Lilies are beautiful and fragrant, and many cat owners like them very much. But it is a very dangerous plant for cats, and any part of it is dangerous, especially the roots. After cats eat lilies, they will vomit, drool excessively, have poor energy and appetite, and cause kidney failure within 72 hours.

2. Ivy

Golden kudzu and ivy are also commonly planted plants at home. They are evergreen all year round and can purify formaldehyde. However, the entire plant is dangerous to cats, especially the leaves and stems. Once a cat eats it by mistake, it will irritate the oral mucosa, cause inflammation and pain, and may also cause symptoms such as excessive drooling, difficulty swallowing, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting. Severe cases can induce kidney and neurological diseases.

3. Cycad

All parts of cycad are toxic to cats, especially the seeds. Cats will soon develop severe vomiting, diarrhea, coma or epilepsy after eating it, and will eventually die from liver failure.

4. Lily of the Valley

No matter which part of the lily of the valley the cat eats, it is highly poisonous, especially the roots. Cats accidentally eating lily of the valley can cause vomiting, excessive drooling, diarrhea and abdominal pain, and even cause a slow heartbeat. Severe cases may lead to epilepsy and even sudden death.

All parts of azalea are toxic to cats. Cats eating it by mistake can cause persistent vomiting and even be at risk of aspiration pneumonia. Neurological symptoms such as seizures and generalized weakness may occur.
