Is Amydrium Medium Silver toxic to cats?

Amydrium medium 'Silver'

Toxic to cats

Yes — amydrium medium silver is toxic to cats according to the ASPCA. Keep it well away from any cat that chews plants; reactions can be significant. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Amydrium medium 'Silver' is not individually listed in the ASPCA toxic/non-toxic plant database, and no member of the genus Amydrium is listed, so a definitive ASPCA rating is unavailable. As a true aroid (Araceae) it contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals like its ASPCA-listed relatives (Monstera, Philodendron, Pothos), which can cause oral irritation, drooling and vomiting if chewed. Treat as not pet-safe, keep away from cats and dogs, and verify with your vet.
