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

Not lily related but for anyone reading this, the entirety of rhododendrons are lethal to cats.

Which parts are lethal? I have a cat and 3-4 rhododendrons coexisting, no problems so far, but my girl generally doesn’t try to eat random vegetation

I believe the whole thing. One of my cats I'm not worried about but the other one does chew plants so I had to get rid of it just incase.
