A good rule of thumb is, if it comes from a bulb/tuber, it's toxic, especially to cats. Doesn't matter if we're talking daffodils or garlic, lilies or vidalias, iris or turmeric--pretty much every bulb or tuber-based plant contains compounds that are lethal to pets, even in small amounts.
Some of these plants--foxglove, belladonna, Jimson, castor beans, etc.--are also extremely toxic to humans. And since we know human babies are just as likely as our furbabies to see if something's edible by eating it, keep these plants OUT of your home and garden. It's simply not worth the risk!
