Many common houseplants can be toxic to cats, ranging from mild gastrointestinal upset to severe organ damage. Plants like lilies, sago palms, oleander, and even daffodils are highly dangerous. It's best to keep all plants out of your cat's reach or only have pet-safe varieties. Symptoms of ingestion can include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or drooling. If you suspect your cat has eaten a toxic plant, contact your vet immediately. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
