Is Aechmea recurvata toxic to cats?

Aechmea recurvata

Non-toxic to cats

No — aechmea recurvata 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. The narrow leaves carry sharp marginal spines, so the practical risk is mechanical scratching of a pet's mouth, not poisoning.
