Just a reminder at Easter that lilies kill cats. That includes Easter lilies of course. Almost all varieties of lilies lead to kidney failure. Below is a "public service announcement" on the cheeseburger site. I am sure they will be OK with me using it here:

Causes of acute kidney failure include poisoning from ingesting anything to do with Easter lilies (and antifreeze incidentally as you are no doubt aware).

I have a full list of plants poisonous to cats. And a page on cat poisoning generally. And house plants safe for cats.
