Lilies Can Kill Cats

I wonder if you could cross breed a lily and catnip? It would be a cool way to keep cats at manageable levels.

The bizarre thing is that the lilies which are most deadly to felines (hemerocallis and lillium types) are edible for humans.

My beautiful 7 year old torty died 2 months ago of acute renal failure, which we suspect is a result of lily ingestion (but cannot be sure). Being unaware of the danger of these plants, we had a garden burgeoning with both lilium and hemerocallis type lilies, which I now know are both equally dangerous. I feel so guilty that we did not respond to her symptoms more quickly - I had believed she was displaying signs of cat flu so delayed seeking vet advice.

Lucky bamboo is toxic to cats when chewed or eaten. Also known as dragon tree or Dracaena sanderiana, lucky bamboo belongs to a family of toxic plants that includes Easter lilies and garden lilies.

Oh, Sonny. I'm so very, very, sorry for your loss. Please don't blame yourself. So many people don't know. There should be warnings on the damn things. I know your kitty is around you and doesn't blame you. I'm so very, very, sorry for your loss. :(
