    Half the garden is poisonous, cats have survived over time. Maybe they have more sense Homo sapiens :)

    RubyLeaf, are you going to remove every plant from your garden.....just in case?

    Most cats seem to be very fussy about what they eat.  With lilies, it's a case of the cat accidentally getting pollen on its fur, and becoming ill after licking it off to clean itself.  I don't think there's a serious risk from growing tulips in the garden, nor azaleas and foxgloves.  I've never seen a cat chew anything other than grass, in the garden.
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Plant some 'nepeta cataria' RubyLeaf.  That should keep your cat distracted from eating the rest of the garden 😸.

    In my experience, most of them won't even eat cat food that's on Special Offer  :/
