Cats and peace lillies?

I have 2 Balinese cats just over a year old. I have had a peace lily since before I got the kittens and they have always chewed at the leaves. I have only just found out that lillies are toxic to cats. My cats seem to be fine but should I be worried? Do I take them to the vet? Also how do I get them to stop eating the leaves?





Thank you

If they arent showing any abnormal symptoms, you dont need to worry, but I would definitely remove it from the house. Peace lilies are not as dangerous as some other types of lilies, but they can still cause problems.

Reply:Peace lilies are not true lilies. As such, unlike true lilies, they are only toxic to cats as opposed to being deadily. Obviously if you can avoid having the cats chew on it, all the better, but don%26#039;t throw them out as quickly as you would an easter lily. Report It

Reply:I have 4 cats and I have heard these are poisenous and also lily of the valley. try buying kitty greens from the pet store and keep them growing so your cat can get the greens he needs and put the peace lily out of reach or give it away u can also plant some catnip but give it spareingly as it can cause severe hyper activity
Reply:A coating of Cayenne pepper will cure it.
Reply:how long ago did they chew it? Sometimes it can take a little bit for the toxins to have an effect. Lillies can kill cats.
Reply:Get rid of the lilies.
Reply:Put the lillies up where they can%26#039;t get them in they are in a vase. You can get a list off of the purina.com site of the plants that cats can sick on. call the vet and make sue what you can do if they do it again. Get the list off of purina.com it helps I did and I have it up where i can see it.
Reply:you wont be able to stop them unless ou put the lillies where they cant get them (good luck)


and i wouldn%26#039;t worry unless they start acting sick, but definitely do not allow them acceo the plants any more, get rid of it if you have to
