Is Beaked Hazelnut toxic to cats?

Non-toxic to cats

This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Corylus is not listed as toxic by the ASPCA and the nuts are edible, with no toxic principle in foliage or nuts; treat as non-toxic to cats and dogs. The bristly husk fibres can irritate skin and mouths on handling, and rich nuts may upset a pet's stomach if eaten in bulk.
