I think that’s a little alarmist to be honest, not all cats are allergic to Lilies, so to just blanket ban them is over the top, train your pets as well, it is a thing.

I have never had a single one of my cats get out in 2 decades, if you want to be careless that’s your fault, the general public isn’t going to go out of their to avoid planting stuff so muffins you constantly somehow let out doesn’t eat them. There’s also ways to address constant runaways, get a shock collar.

I’m sorry, take a little personal accountability for your pets and how you let them out, or do what a good pet owner should do, and fix the problem. Your PSA went from cute PSA to borderline propaganda real fast. Yeesh growmie.

The real PSA is outdoors cats are menace to nature and if you can’t keep them inside because you’re frankly a horrible pet owner, they deserve what happens. I’ll trap them if they come on my property, but the coyotes and bears will get them first before some flowers…. Don’t be an irresponsible pet owner, keep muffins inside, there is ZERO excuse, full stop.

Yikes, you really took that in a weird direction. Lot of judgement and assumption in your post. I’ve also never really had my cat get out but your delusional if you think that can’t happen unless someone is completely careless or a shitty pet owner.

Explain which part is propaganda? ASPCA recommends contacting a vet immediately if you know your cat has been exposed; I’m being “alarmist” for a reason.

The fact that you think people need to worry about what they plant because irresponsible pet owners can’t get their shit together. An outdoor (illegal or legal, still a moronic idea….) cat has a thousand other things to worry about, in fact I do believe if you’re going to be careless they should be eating or taking by a coyote. I have birdhouses and bird feeders, if people are negligent with their animals, I’m giving them a buffet. There is more than one perspective here and your exuding yours as gospel.

Fuck off lmfao. The cats can get fucked the bird population is far more important, but peddle for little muffin dude… yeesh.

To be fair, my second post was more a suggestion you be a responsible pet owner and not bring Lillie’s inside your home. The second part of my message was about how you said since its against the law for animals to be outside (lol) its not your problem as if the law controls where cats go or not go. I guess I was trying to point that if you care about the cats in your neighborhood maybe you forego the pretty flower.
