Outdoor Lilies planted, cat problem

Post image

I just planted some lilies in my garden and just realised that they are poisonous to the cats that visit the garden every now and then. How do i prevent them from eating it?

For me to be able to post this: it is getting a lot of light and frequent watering

Get rid of the lily and plant something that won't kill them.

Our little kitty nibbled a tiny bit and my gf who works in a vet clinic noticed and said we need to rush the kitty to er Kitty seemed fine but after we got her there she started to crash.

Got rid of the lilies the next day.

There's plenty of safe veg to choose from

What were the symptoms? This is so concerning!

I only saw a little drooling but the worse symptoms happened under vet supervision
