I just read this brief article (shown below) that states that most
forms of lilies are fatal to pets. I happen to be a cat owner as well
as a day lily fanatic. I'm sure it's not an unusual circumstance to
have cats and day lilies on your property. Anyone here ever have a
problem? Should I be consdering yanking out my precious day lilies?

FELINE HEALTH ALERT: LILIES CAN BE LETHAL
In an effort to keep companion felines everywhere happy and healthy,
the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) has partnered with the
Cat Fanciers Association (CFA) in a campaign to educate companion
animal caretakers about the potential dangers of lilies. These popular
springtime plants--including Easter lily, tiger lily, rubrum lily,
Japanese show lily and some day lilies--can cause kidney failure in
cats if ingested. Last year alone, the center handled more than 200
cases of cats who had ingested a Lilium species.]

Day lilies aren't Lilium. I don't know whether they're poisonous or not, but
I've never seen cats eating them. Is your cat inclined to eat random plants?
