Toxic Plants: Amaryllis

It's something that doesn't usually cross our minds, but some common plants around our yards are in fact toxic to our furry friends. 
 
Amaryllis

 Amaryllis is harmful to both Cats and Dogs due to the Lycorine and other toxins that it contains. Be careful with the Bulbs, they contain the most toxins.
Signs of your cat being affected from this can include vomiting, depression, diarrhea, abdominal pain, hypersalivation, anarexia and tremors.
You should consult your vet immediately if you have any concerns.
