Are clivia plants poisonous for cats?

My 2-yr old healthy cat just died today, for no apparent reason (indoors all the time so no fighting with a racoon, no blood or vomit). She was locked up in my bedroom by mistake for 5 hours last night and she had dug dirt out of the Clivia plant I keep there. I don't let my cats into my bedroom because I am somewhat allergic to them, so this is the first time she was unattended around that plant. I am assuming the Clivia plant is the culprit. Although I didn't see chewing evidence, my cat liked to chew on one of my living room plants.
