Is Pagoda Fawn Lily toxic to cats?

Erythronium 'Pagoda'

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists pagoda fawn lily as mildly toxic to cats — a chewing cat typically gets mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a medical emergency, but it is still best kept out of reach. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Erythronium 'Pagoda' is not individually listed by the ASPCA. As a Liliaceae hybrid, ingestion of corms or foliage may cause mild gastrointestinal irritation in dogs and cats. It is not a true lily (Lilium) and is not associated with the feline nephrotoxic risk of that genus. However, out of caution it should be treated as potentially irritating to pets and kept away from children.
