Yep, even a small amount is fatal.

This information below is taken from the April issue of Your Cat:

Chocolate is highly toxic to cats, and can be fatal. Cocoa bean products contain a chemical called Theobromine, which our pets cant clear from their bodies.

Symptoms of poisoning include excessive drinking, vomiting, diorrhoea, slow heart rate and in the later stages, convulsions. If your pet displays any of these symptoms contact a vet. If caught early, this can be treated.

The easter lily should be kept out of cats reach as they can cause kidney failure. Even small amounts can cause severe poisoning and need urgent vet treatment.
