This plant will cause mild to severe GI signs (vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite), the toxicity is considered mild. if Knight is experiencing severe vomiting and lethargy you should take her to the vet to get treated.

    I would advise to call the ASPCA at (888) 426-4435 or Pet Poison Control Hotline to be certain but according to the ASPCA website, 'Monkey Grass' also known as a 'Turf Lilly' is non-toxic to cats and dogs. So then you don't worry about it hurting Knight. I would also advise to double check that this is the plant you have. If you do need to make Knight vomit, I would advise to take him to the vet clinic for a different drug to make him vomit. I hope this helps!
