Unfortunately, there is no way to ensure that your pets will never get sick or hurt. That's one reason why you should do your best to keep plants that contribute to cat poisoning out of his way.  As you read the list of plants you'll probably wonder if you should eradicate them from your surroundings.

You probably won't tear up all your lilies, daffodils, and azaleas but...

Cat's and kittens depend on you to keep them out of harms way

So...if you see your Sammy taking a chomp of your tulips, do something to divert him - permanently. Spraying Sammy with the hose at the same time he approaches the tulips works great!
