I really like flowers and plants, but I’m going to be getting a kitten soon, and I was wondering if anyone knows of a comprehensive book or website that will give me all of the plants and flowers that are poisonous to cats?

these both list plants that are harmful to cats.
Listed here are plants poisonous to cats that must be avoided if there are cats in your home. Note that lilies(*), in particular, are dangerous to cats. While in some cases, just parts of a plant (bark, leaves, seeds, berries, roots, tubers, spouts, green shells) might be poisonous, this list rules out the whole plant. If you must have any of them, keep them safely out of reach.

The last web site is through and has a list like you would not believe. Hope these help.
Purina.com has a site where you can go to get a list of poisonous plants and you can also print it off. That’s where I got my list.
There are many plants and flowers that are poisonous to cats. The list is long and includes plants that you would not think would be there. I was amazed to find alfalfa listed as a plant poisonous to cats. Alfalfa is included is some pet foods and pet supplements!!! I have been doing research on this only this past week, because of the recall on 90 brands of pet food. While there may be chemical contamination problems, the high % of carbohydrate in some pet foods can also be a problem, in addition to potentially poisonous ingredients.
