You've missed the point. If you asked 100 people who came through MetroCat in Boston whether they could name a common flower in floral arrangements, which would cause renal failure and death in their pet, how many would answer correctly? And how many would get the whole list? And how many could identify those flowers from photographs or samples? Those are the interesting questions. I'd bet maybe 50% for the first, dropping quickly for the rest. And the cat owners who come to MetroCat specifically are probably among the most aware groups. This lack of awareness is, of course, the real problem. And that's why I made my initial comment. Florists have this awareness but not the full context of the environment where their product will be used. Flowers don't come with warning labels, but even if they did I would say that the florist has a responsibility to inquire. For the benefit of the customer, if nothing else (who wants to be partially involved in the death of their friend's cat??).
