Are peace lilies poisonous to cats?

Question

I was told by the horticulturist that a peace lily is not a true lily, so I am assuming it does not pose the liver failure damage that true lilies do to cats. Does anyone have any information about peace plants and cats? If my cat ingests it will the only risk be mild gastric distress?

I already checked the Cat Fanciers Website which lists plants which are poisonous and peace lily is there but it doesn't give any details....

Answer 1

The ASPCA has a section where you can go to about poisonous plants and it will tell what part of the plant is poisonous and what can happenen to the cat.
When you go there go to their search bar and put in poisonous plants and it will show you a list of poisonous plants and you can click on it and it will bring up what the plant is and the parts that are poisonous. The list is in alphabet order.Yes peace lillies are poisonous to cats.

Peace Lilies (Mauna Loa) are poisonous to cats and dogs, however I have never seen a cat eat a peace lily, if it does it is a mad cat, maybe suicidal?

Some houseplants are harmful to cats. The leaves of the Easter Lily can cause permanent and life-threatening kidney damage to cats. Philodendron are also poisonous to cats. Cat Fancy has a full list of plants harmful to cats.






Domesticated cats eat fairly little vegetable matter.

It is quite common, however, for cats to occasionally supplement their carnivorous diets with small amounts of grass or other plant matter. Cats munch on grass, leaves, shrubs and houseplants to facilitate regurgitation of whatever may be upsetting their digestion; or perhaps to introduce fibre or trace minerals to the diet.

Sounds silly, but plant some grass in a household container for your cat.

Answer 6

To my knowledge, ALL Lilies, especially Easter,are very toxic to cats . I wouldn't take a chance on finding out even if it means" mild gastric distress". If in doubt, throw it out! Save your kitty from any distress .. : ) I may have to give away a beautiful "corn plant" to save my new kitten. For the time being it's up where he can't reach. Vets have diff. opinions on these, but not lilies!

Answer 7

For your cat's safety and your peace of mind, I would recommend you don't take the risk that this particular lily could be poisonouse to your kitty and find something you know is cat-friendly.
