Is Aquadulce Broad Bean toxic to cats?

No — aquadulce broad bean 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. Vicia faba is not listed as toxic to dogs or cats by the ASPCA. Note that raw fava beans contain vicine and divicine which trigger haemolytic anaemia in people with G6PD deficiency (favism); this metabolic sensitivity is not documented in dogs or cats, but as a precaution avoid feeding raw beans to pets in large quantities.

Yes — the ASPCA lists aquadulce broad bean 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.
