A few days ago, one of my colleagues saw a one year old kitty for sudden onset seizures. First thought was idiopathic epilepsy, but:
Turned out that someone in the family had brought lilies into the house and put them up high, thinking that the cat wouldn't get to them. Alas, even a lick of pollen from lilies causes fatal kidney damage in cats.
Said cat was not epileptic. Her kidneys were fried, so she lost her life at one year of age.
If you have cats in the house, that means no lilies, no matter how high up they are.
No lilies. Ever. Not even once. If someone gives you a bouquet with lilies, throw the lilies out before you ever bring those flowers into your house. Just breathing the pollen in the air can kill a cat.
If you have cats, please take this seriously. No lilies.
