Is Ananas bracteatus 'Tricolor' toxic to cats?

Ananas bracteatus 'Tricolor'

Non-toxic to cats

No — ananas bracteatus 'tricolor' 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. Bromeliads, including pineapple (Ananas), are classified by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats and dogs. The main hazard is mechanical: the spiny, saw-toothed leaf margins can scratch pets, children or handlers, and chewed foliage may cause mild, transient mouth irritation rather than poisoning.
