Bulb plants in garden

[nomorespaghetti]

We’ve had DCat for 3 weeks now, he’s not allowed outside for another couple of weeks. I wanted to plant some daffs, tulips, cyclamen, etc, in the garden, but is that a bad idea with a cat about? Is he likely to try to eat them?! Surely he’ll come into contact with bulb plants in other peoples gardens?

I am aware that lilies are very toxic to cats, and going to get rid of my lilies (they don’t usually get much of a chance to flower before the slugs eat them anyway).

Thank you.

many people in the neighbourhood will have bulb plants.
it's a risk you take when you let your pet roam.

Oh, interesting , I hadn't thought about bulb plants .
I have some lilies in the garden ( tall, orangey coloured , been there years )

We got the cats in May but they didn't go out till July so I don't think the lilies were still flowering .

When I've planted bulbs before the bloody foxes dug them up not for the bulbs but the earthworms.

I've had bulbs forever and have never had a problem with cats trying to eat them. Daffodils, tulips, crocuses, anemones etc.

@70isaLimitNotaTarget Are you going to remove the lilies?.

I probably will Fluffy - the bulbs are buried really deep so no worries there but it's the pollen I worry about .

I might cut the flowers back as soon as they show ..........I like the cats more than some flowers truth be known
