## What you should know

The single most dangerous houseplant for a cat. Petals, leaves, pollen and even the vase water can cause kidney failure in under three days.

## Whoa

A cat can get pollen on its fur, lick it off while cleaning, and be poisoned without ever eating the flower.

## Staying safe around it

This one is poisonous. Look, do not touch. Ask a grown-up and call a vet.

**Always ask a grown-up before you touch any animal or plant.** If something bites or stings you, tell an adult right away.
