Even licking pollen can be fatal. Keep lilies out of a home with cats.
Never — if a bouquet contains lilies, keep it out of the house.
All parts of true lilies (Lilium) and daylilies (Hemerocallis) — leaves, petals, stems, pollen and even the vase water — cause acute kidney failure in cats. Pollen groomed off the fur can be enough. Dogs don't get this kidney injury, which is why lilies are a cat-specific emergency.
Dangerous for every cat, with or without a health condition.
Go anyway. Kidney damage shows up a day or two later, when treatment is far less effective.
No — despite the name they are different plants. They irritate the mouth but don't damage the kidneys. Still keep them away.
