Is Ananas bracteatus toxic to cats?

No — ananas bracteatus 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. Pet-safe by ASPCA grounding: the genus Ananas is represented on the ASPCA non-toxic list by Pineapple (Ananas comosus), and bromeliads contain no insoluble calcium oxalates or other toxic principle, so Ananas bracteatus is non-toxic to cats and dogs. The real danger is mechanical: the leaves are very strongly and sharply spined, posing a cut and ingestion-blockage risk, so keep pets and children clear of the foliage.

Yes — the ASPCA lists ananas bracteatus as non-toxic to cats and dogs. A cat that chews a large amount of any foliage can still get a mild, brief stomach upset, so discourage grazing, but it will not be poisoned.

The ASPCA classification Growli uses applies to both cats and dogs: Ananas bracteatus is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full ananas bracteatus pet-safety guide for both species.
