Outdoor cats (any animal) at wild are illegal outdoors in my city, so that’s more the owners issue here, but great PSA, we will definitely have to be careful if we cut them and bring them in the house though, we have indoor cats. I always try to wash my hands after handling the bulbs/blooms.
I would argue you shouldn’t even bring them inside. The amounts necessary for toxicity are insanely low…like a bit of pollen, a small clipping of the leaves or stems, a small puddle of water left behind from rinsing; all of these are potentially toxic to your kitties.
Also side note, illegal or not, cats get out / get lost. Its a bit callous to hold the cats in your neighborhood up to standards of the “law” and careless owners / accidental runaways.
