My cat nibbled but did not injest a lily?

My cat is about 10 months old and yesterday we got a bouquet of flowers for Valentine's Day. This morning we woke up and there were nibbles on the lily. There are no visible chunks taken out but it looks chewed. I know that lilies are poisonous to cats but how much would it take to kill her? I don't think she swallowed any. Please help! I don't want my baby to die.

    Its the pollen and if any amount is ingested it can be fatal. It isn't a classic poisoning with symptoms - it kills by destroying the liver and kidneys. Call the vet and get her seen - the sooner treatment is started the better the outcome.

    This completely depends on the age and health of your cat,

    make sure she has lots of water available and watch her closely.
