The Hidden Danger of Daffodils to Cats

Although we love cats and daffodils - please be aware the two don't mix!

While daffodils are a beautiful sign of spring, they are unfortunately dangerous for our feline friends. Daffodil bulbs contain crystals that are extremely toxic to cats if eaten.

The heads and leaves can also make your cat unwell if consumed. Daffodils contain a poisonous substance called lycorine. If digested, this can cause stomach upset, vomiting or a wider serious illness.

If you suspect your cat has ingested any part of a daffodil, please seek advice from your vet immediately.

The Cat Butler was set up by Sandra James in recognition of the fact that a stay in a cattery can be unsettling for many cats and also their owners.
