 A2 poster: Curiosity might not kill the cat, but common lilies can be fatal. Most of the general public and many vets are unaware of the danger that lilies pose to cats. We have created a free A2-sized poster that you can download, print and place on your practice walls. If you’d like to purchase your own individualised poster we can replace the CVE logo with your OWN logo for a fee of $100 (visit the Co-branded lily poisoning poster page for details. You can also download a free matching label/sticker that can be printed out on an A4 printer there too). (C&T 262 March 2011)

- Lilies are deadly to cats [A4 pdf 1612 kb]
Correction: The first and last photos of flowers in the row are of calla lilies, Zantedeschia aethiopia, which are not of the Lilium family. Calla lilies contain oxalates which will cause irritation to the oral mucosa, but do not cause renal toxicity. Editor’s Note: Thank you to Dr Diane E. Shepherd of Kihei for providing this correction.

Is there a cat in the household? Following on from our Permethrin toxicity in cats survey (C&T 253 December 2008) the CVE is grateful to long-time supporter Frank Gaschk for designing three lively cartoons to accompany the Permethrin toxicity warning. These
cartoons have been incorporated into a label and two A4 posters.
We urge you to place the label on the relevant products and the A4 posters on your surgery walls.
