Tulips are poisonous to cats. When cats accidentally eat tulip petals or leaves, they can experience severe symptoms of poisoning, including vomiting, diarrhea, thirst, dry mouth, liver and kidney damage, etc. If the symptoms are not treated in a timely manner, it will be life-threatening for the cat.

Tulips are a beautiful flower, but they contain pyrrolidone compounds, and these compounds can cause toxic symptoms when ingested by cats. Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, thirst, and runny eyes and nose. If large amounts of tulips are eaten, cats may also experience neurological symptoms such as fatigue, tremors, convulsions and coma.

If you have cats, be sure to keep tulips away from their living space. If you suspect your cat has ingested tulips, contact your veterinarian immediately. The doctor may be able to treat the symptoms, such as washing the cat's stomach and providing supportive therapy. Keep your cat away from tulips during treatment to avoid re-exacerbating the symptoms of poisoning.
