A very Ironic long story short......
My childhood cat died yesterday from cancer at my parents' house. I was really torn up over it..... My boyfriend (bless his soul) got me a card and bouquet of flowers to express his sympathy....... and the flowers were lilies.
For those of you don't know, lilies are so toxic to cats that literally one bite of a petal or leaf can send them into kidney failure which can be very fatal.
Let me say: it is very unlikely that my cat got anywhere near this plant. However, I found a wilted petal on the floor and remember him chewing something on the floor. It could have been a petal, it could have been a crumb. BUT to be safe I immediately got rid of the flowers (two hours after he brought them home) and took Ghibli to the emergency vet at 2am last night.. They did blood work and it seemed fine but they said it may be too early to tell and to bring him back if he showed ANY symptoms (they gave me a list). One of the symptoms is runny stools.
Poor guy. Trying to make things better and almost poisoned my cat to do so
