No tulips! The veterinarian explained which flowers are dangerous for cats (7 photos)

On March 8th, women are accustomed to receiving flowers, and some receive several bouquets at once. However, few people think about the fact that our pets may suffer from such gifts.





A veterinarian on the social network X (Twitter) explained which flowers can be dangerous for cats. Oddly enough, almost all flowers sold in flower shops are dangerous. Some may cause allergies, and some may cause seizures.

Lilies and all daylilies



Flowers of this type should not be purchased under any circumstances. Every part of this flower is dangerous: from the pollen to the water in which it stood. It is better not to bring these flowers into the apartment at all, since some cats cannot even stand the smell of lilies. And if a pet drinks the water in which the lilies were standing, it may die altogether.

Tulips - bringers of death





The most important spring flower is highly poisonous to pets. Under no circumstances should cats be allowed to smell tulips, much less chew them.

Hyacinth - diarrhea-bearing



Fortunately, hyacinth is not deadly like the previous two flowers. However, it can cause vomiting and diarrhea in cats. Agree, this is not the most pleasant thing to do on a holiday.

Narcissus is another harbinger of diarrhea



Another flower that can cause stomach upset. In addition, cats may experience chills, heart pain, and tremors.

Spathiphyllum



This flower is also poisonous. It is dangerous for all animals and can also cause mouth ulcers.



Fortunately, if flowers are allowed for cats. For example, sunflowers, daisies, roses, orchids.

It’s worth noting right away that not all flowers immediately cause a cat to drop dead as soon as it sees a tulip or lily. Sometimes, when poison enters the body in very small doses, there may not be a rapid destructive effect, but a gradual and cumulative effect will occur. In nature, cats sometimes also eat flowers, so their life is much shorter than that of their domestic counterparts. Well, it’s worth taking care of the animal, even if it doesn’t like to chew flowers or leaves. In spring, cats often crave plant foods.
