# Is it safe to even have a Flamingo Lily in the house with my four…

Is it safe to even have a Flamingo Lily in the house with my four cats! I can keep it out of their reach. I’m wondering about the pollen or anything like that. I am 100% ready to return it if the answer is no. It’s not even in the house right now.

From my knowledge, it’s okay to have it in the house. As long are your cats aren’t little criminals that like to swat and bite your plants 😂

I remembered after sending this comment that you’re able to keep it out of reach, definitely a good call!

OK. Cus it was breaking my heart that I had to return it. Though I’d be broken personally if one of my babies got sick.

So I don’t have to worry about the pollen from the flowers?

Flamingo lilies are actually anthuriums, not lilies. I don’t know about their toxicity, but I assume it’s less toxic to cats than actually lilies.
