The fragrance of lilies may be a strange and novel smell to most cats. Some cats may become curious about this smell and try to explore the source of the fragrance. However, lilies themselves are poisonous to cats.

The various parts of a lily flower, including pollen, petals and leaves , all contain chemicals that are harmful to cats. If a cat accidentally eats lilies or is exposed to them for a long time, it may cause kidney damage and even lead to serious diseases such as renal failure.
