Can someone tell me , is it just lily pollen thats poisonous to cats of the whoe flower??

Every bit of the Lilly is poisonous, its unlikely that a cat would nibble on a lily plant - but they can come into contact with the pollen quite easily by brushing past and getting it on their coat.

Kirst, it's best to avoid lillies in general. :)

Someone bought me a bunch of chrysanthenmums (sp?) last night. I thought I'd better check that they're okay for cats, as mine are into everything, and I've found out they're poisonous!! :Crazy: So I'm going downstairs to bin them after writing this shocked warning!

When I looked at the list of flowers poisonous to cats, I'm amazed there are any safe ones left.

Oh well, I think he got them from a garage forecourt anyway. Cheapskate!!  :P
