One of the least emphasized reasons for keeping cats indoors is the opportunity for culinary sampling of flowers and plants that might be toxic to them, in varying degrees. With some plants, such as hydrangeous, stomach pains, vomiting, and weakness may be the only results, but for other plants, such as some lilies, even death can result.

Pictures shownin this article depict some of the more popular plants toxic to cats. This is not an exhaustive list - for that, see the ASPCA's Toxic Plants List. Let's take a walk through this lovely but potentially lethal garden for cats.
