My cat ate a stargazer lily & threw up. Is it toxic? What to watch?

Question

Hello. My cat threw up and I saw that it had small pieces of leaves in it. He ate a few pieces of leaves from a stargazer Lilly because that is the only plant in the house. He is playing and he ate again. Acting normal. Should I be worried? Anything to watch for? Thank you. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 5 years and 4 months old | 14 lbs

Unfortunately star gazer lilies are toxic to cats. Cats aree the only animals affected!. Vomiting, inappetence, lethargy, kidney failure and death is possible. Hopefully Ronald vomited all the plant material and will not be affected. Please watch for inappetence, lethargy and more vomiting. If this occurs he needs to be taken to a veterinarian or a PetEr right away. If you think he did not get rid of all the missing plant parts, take him to a vet this morning for an exam. The vet will want to take blood as a base line this morning so he can compare values to monitor his kidneys.
