Lilies in particular are extremely poisonous to cats and can be a potential cause of kidney (renal) failure in cats. The entire plant, leaves, stamen, pollen etc. are all poisonous. Symptoms of poisoning can occur within two hours and include vomiting, depression and lack of appetite. No matter how little of the plant has been eaten, or even if your cat has just washed pollen off it's coat, veterinary advice should be sought immediately as time is of the essence
Below is a link to a list of plants that are toxic to cats. This web site also gives information for each plant on what symptoms to look for that would alert you that your cat may have been poisoned by eating a particular plant.
