🚨 What to Do If Your Cat Eats This Plant

Not usually life-threatening—but uncomfortable.

  1. Wipe your cat’s mouth with a damp cloth.
  2. Offer water or a lick of yogurt to neutralize crystals.
  3. Call your vet if symptoms persist beyond a few hours.
  4. Never confuse with true lilies—this one won’t cause kidney failure.

💡 Key difference: True lilies = fatal to cats. Peace lily = painful but treatable.
