My cat ate peace lily days ago, seems fine. Should I take him to vet?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Maine Coon | Male | neutered | 1 year and 2 months old

My cat ate a little bit of Spathiphyllum a couple days ago. I only now noticed that it’s poisonous for cats. He still seems to be fine. Nothing out of the ordinary. Should I still take him to a vet?

After a couple days, there is no sense in taking him to the vet unless he is acting sick. Fortunately, Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum) toxicity isn’t as great as that of other types of lilies, including Easter lily and Asiatic lilies. The Peace lily, isn’t a true lily, so it doesn’t cause damage to the kidneys and liver like the other lillies do.
