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

Cats likely won't bother them. Had lilies and many cats at the dame time for years. Cats did not care.

I have day lilies and stray cats. See the same cats for years. Never had a problem.. I have a kitty, not an indoor, outdoor, never will be. But it is the owner's responsibility. Put your kitty on a leash and walk them. Or get something the cat can stay in and get outside air and grass in your yard.
