1. Flowers: It is okay to have some plants and flowers in your house, as not all of them could cause your pet's life. But you have to be mindful of those that are actually lethal for your furry companion. According to Reader's Digest, feline pets that ingested lily in their system could cause their kidney to fail in just 36 to 72 hours.
