Pets & Chocolate, Cats & Lilies. Holiday PSA

Turtlecat🌈💕 (@Turtlecat9) Tweeted:
🔴🔴ATTENTION: All Pet Lovers! Please remember that CHOCOLATE can kill your cat or dog when ingested. SO please, make this a nice Easter weekend and make sure they can't get to the candy. Bright foil wrapped chocolate is especially tempting to your cat. https://t.co/IhLfOmwVmq

Or any other kind of lily. All parts of the plant are very poisonous to cats. Chocolate is bad but not as much of a danger because cats usually don't eat candy - they can't taste sweet things. But lilies are very, very bad.
