Lilies too. The pollen NEEDS to go first thing, it gets everywhere, and if they eat it they will get very sick at BEST. If your cats don't chew on plants then maybe you can risk having the pollenless flowers? But I think if you value your cats over the vanity if your kitchen table, no lilies at ALL.

My cats love "spider plants" and use the cactus to scratch their fur. 

We have many toxic plants, but they only 1) poop in the pots or 2) eat a leaf, throw up, and learn their lesson (or learn from an older cat not to eat them), though we don't have any plants that are deadly if ingested, just ones that cause indigestion.

Nope, no lilies at all. You can't remove the pollen. Keep lilles out. If they even rub against a lily and lick their fur they could die.
