‘Indoor’ Asiatic lily?

I bought a pot of Asiatic lilies today, they are labelled as indoor houseplants...

Have literally never heard of asiatic lilies being grown as houseplants?

Does anyone have any advice as to keeping them alive indoors?
I won’t plant them outside as my gardens are regularly visited by cats.

I suppose lilies are often used as cut flowers so probably ok to have the whole plant inside while it's in bloom. There's some info here

I'd guess just try to keep it somewhere cool, it will probably only flower for a few weeks like they would outdoors anyway. It's the pollen which is particularly poisonous to cats so maybe you could put them outside in a container after flowering and bring them back in for flowering next year?
