Is Acer griseum toxic to cats?

Acer griseum

Non-toxic to cats

No — acer griseum is listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats. It is a sensible choice for a home with a cat; a curious nibble will not poison them, though no plant is meant to be eaten. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Not individually listed by the ASPCA, but ornamental maples other than Red Maple are not classed as toxic to cats or dogs; the ASPCA flags only Acer rubrum, and that specifically for horses. Paperbark maple is regarded as non-toxic to cats and dogs. As a precaution, keep horses away from wilted maple foliage of any species.
