The couple 4 doors down from me have requested on numerous occasions that I remove the small clump of lilies growing near my pond as their cat may brush against them when it comes round to catch, torture & mutilate the frogs & toads living in my garden.There is a more comprehensive list of plants toxic to cats here.http://www.cfainc.org/articles/plants.htmlTo save further misunderstandings I should point out I am not recommending people even consider planting anything on this list such as lilies, potatoes, tomatoes, privet, holly, ivy, tulips, snowdrops, marigolds, narcissus etc... as cat owners may assume you are attempting to poison their pets & complain about the selection of plants in your garden.
i didn't know that Lillie's are poisonous to cats !
our front garden is pea shingle
We have a cat and two dogs, the cat messes in the raised bed and then the dog digs it up for a snack!
our front garden is pea shingle, and the cats were using it as a litter tray until.....I started pouring my urnie on it, apparently male urine puts them off using it as a toilet, I was skeptical when someone told me but IT WORKED!!! (obviously I used a bucket and wasnt running round the garden playing Firemen!!!)
lilies are only toxic if the pollen from the floweres gets on there fur then when they clean themselves they digest this and has the affect of poisen to cats very dangerous life threatening even if not cought in time what i sugest is as i do when the flowere opens they have pollen stems with pollen on the tips i cut these off carefully its a small price to pay for to save the life of my and other cats comming into contact with them
More top tips....i don't have cats, my name is a combination if my youngest daughter's names...Oliva Catherine, and not 'cos i am a cat lover!! Equally, although i do not have or want cats, i do not want to harm them in my quest to be cat poo free!!
