Is Aechmea gamosepala toxic to cats?

Aechmea gamosepala

Non-toxic to cats

No — aechmea gamosepala 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. ASPCA classifies Aechmea bromeliads (Bromeliaceae) as non-toxic to cats and dogs, with no toxic principle identified. This species is nearly spineless and soft-leaved, so even the usual mechanical-scratch caveat is minimal; chewing may at most cause mild, transient stomach upset.
