Answer

Many common houseplants are indeed toxic to cats and can cause a range of symptoms from mild gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, diarrhea) to severe organ damage or even death, depending on the plant and amount ingested. Examples include lilies, sago palms, oleander, azaleas, and many others. It's crucial to identify all your houseplants and verify their toxicity. If they are toxic, either remove them, place them in inaccessible areas, or cover the soil to deter chewing. If your cat ingests a known toxic plant, seek immediate veterinary care. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
