Is Angelonia angustifolia 'Archangel White' toxic to cats?

Angelonia angustifolia 'Archangel White'

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists angelonia angustifolia 'archangel white' as mildly toxic to cats — a chewing cat typically gets mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a medical emergency, but it is still best kept out of reach. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Angelonia is not individually listed by the ASPCA. Several horticultural sources report no known toxicity to people or pets, but without a confirmed ASPCA classification it should be treated with caution and verified with a vet rather than labelled safe. Ingestion may cause mild stomach upset.
