Tiger lily (Lilium lancifolium)

Tiger lilies are named for their striking orange petals with dark spots, reminiscent of a tiger's coat. However, it's essential to keep these plants away from housecats, as they are highly toxic to felines. Even a small ingestion can lead to severe kidney damage or be fatal. Despite their popularity and resilience, especially in cooler climates like New England, they pose a significant risk to cats.
