Easter lilies are extremely toxic to cats
YOU’RE RIGHT!
Lilies are a popular choice for bouquets, but few people know these flowers are extremely toxic to cats. A small amount of pollen sticking to your cat’s fur and being ingested when grooming is enough to cause potentially fatal kidney failure. If you suspect your cat may have ingested any part of the lily plant, including the pollen, immediately contact your vet for medical advice.

Cats can get hay fever
YOU’RE RIGHT!
Just like us, our cats can get hay fever. In our feline friends, hay fever – which is an allergy to certain types of pollen – manifests itself as itching and skin irritation, causing your cat to scratch like crazy and overgroom, sometimes to the point where they get bald spots. The areas that are most often affected are the ears, paws, belly, and rear. Want to know more? Be sure to read out article on allergies in cats.

Cats can get confused by Daylight Savings Time
YOU’RE RIGHT!
Cats are known for their keen sense of time, sticking closely to their daily routines. After Daylight Savings Time, not only are you suddenly home an hour later, but your cat’s playtime, breakfast, and dinner shift by an hour too. As a result, your cat might be a little confused during the first few weeks.

Kitten season runs from March to June
YOU’RE RIGHT!
Kitten Season refers to the time of year when cats most commonly mate and give birth. While cats can reproduce year-round, this season typically spans from late March to October. During this time, shelters experience a surge of adorable kittens in need of homes, so if you’re looking for a new feline friend, be sure to visit your local rescue center.

Cats are unlikely to get Lyme disease
YOU’RE RIGHT!
Lyme disease is a bacterial infection that is spread to humans through the bite of black-legged ticks. Cats, however, seem to be unaffected as the disease has never been seen in cats outside of a laboratory setting. Still, be sure to remove any ticks from your feline’s fur.
