Autumn crocus is highly toxic and can cause severe gastrointestinal and multi-organ complications in cats.
Symptoms may appear within hours or may be delayed for days after exposure.
There is no universal safe dose. Risk depends on body weight, amount, product form, concentration, and the cat's health condition.
Small cats may be more vulnerable at lower doses.
Autumn Crocus in fresh form still requires caution for cats.
Cooking does not automatically make autumn crocus safe for cats.
Often more concentrated and easier to underestimate.
Supplements and extracts may carry concentrated exposure risk.
Sauces, leftovers, seasonings, and processed foods may contain hidden amounts.
