I had no idea pollen and water were a danger! I love stargazers as cut flowers, and they make an enormous mess of pollen as they age! I’ve been lucky 😦
Prior to working as a ‘people nurse’, I took care of cats, dogs and exotics at an emergency veterinary clinic. It was astounding how many people with cat companions were unaware of the danger that Lilies posed to their pets. Thanks for a timely an informative reminder at this time of year when Easter Lilies are especially popular.
This information needs to be spread widely, as many people won’t know the dangers of lilies to cats.
I have re-blogged it, and shared it on my FB page which is about animals.
Thanks for the reminder.

I guess like some nut allergic people, even the smell can kill.

I’ve not only reblogged this but put the salient points in a FB status update and may have saved kitty lives in two countries.

I did not know this – I will have to remember it when we get a cat.
