We regularly buy Asiatic Lilies and Stargazer Lilies mainly for their
beautiful scent and both cats nibble the floweres and leaves.
Neither have shown any side effects, the only trouble is getting
the yellow
pollen out of white fur.


Bloody impossible to get it of wallpaper, clothes etc too!


Don't try to brush it off: put a bit of Sellotape over it, sticky side to
the pollen. Pull it off and repeat. The sticky lifts the pollen better

than
anything else I've tried.


Carefully cut the pollen bits off cut flowers and they last longer and you
don't get the pollen everywhere. A tip Joan picked up ages ago from
'somewhere' and it seems to work :-))
