I don’t have a solution for removing the stain, but if you have cats I would threw them away. All parts of the lily plant are toxic to felines and can cause fatal kidney failure.

Sounds like Kit. He was our neighbor’s cat. Everyone on our street knew him. After his owner passed Kit spent his retirement years with us. By then he was blind and an indoor only cat. Like all cats, he was the best cat ever.
