Is Angraecum distichum toxic to cats?

No — angraecum distichum 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. True orchids (Orchidaceae) carry no known toxic principle; the ASPCA lists the orchid family as non-toxic to cats and dogs (Phalaenopsis is the named reference entry) and notes no orchid species known to poison cats. Angraecum is not individually listed but shares this benign family chemistry. Nibbled foliage may still cause mild GI upset, and any pesticide or fertiliser residue is the real hazard.

Yes — the ASPCA lists angraecum distichum 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: Angraecum distichum is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full angraecum distichum pet-safety guide for both species.
