An Important Warning
I just came home from the vet's this morning. I got some flowers and some were lilies. I know they are poisenous to cats, but watched them closely and she didn't seem to be paying attention to them. This morning there were three petals gone from a lily and Ava was throwing up. I called the vet and he said to bring her right over. He took a blood sample, hydrated her and gave her some medicine and said to watch her closely for vomiting and lethargy. She is sleeeping under the beds now, which she does not usually do, but hopefully she will be okay. If you have cats or small dogs, please do not allow them near any lily plants. I called the florist, who said she did not know this and she would be sure to make note of it.

Mia, how awful. I hope Ava is okay. I never knew this, and although I don't have a cat, I'll pass the information along.
That's too bad, Mia. Hopefully the vet caught it in time.
Our cat ate a lily, or at least nibbled on it. She threw up and was sick for a couple of days, but seems fine now. It's good you took her to the vet. Hope she is okay.
I hope she is okay, Mia, keep us posted.
She seems to be a little perkier and has been playing a bit. Thanks for the good wishes.
Mia, how is Ava today? I just saw this post and was horrified! I had no idea the lilies were that lethal for cats. I hope she is okay.
Ava is fine today, I believe the crisis is over!
sends her best to Ava and says make some cat nip tea. Just don't inhale.
Well, I got here late so I missed the crisis. Glad Ava is ok. We need her to chase the bats!
