Is Beautiful-net Lepanthes toxic to cats?

No — beautiful-net lepanthes 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. Lepanthes belongs to the family Orchidaceae. Orchids as a family have no known toxic principle and multiple common genera (Phalaenopsis, Dendrobium, Cattleya) are listed as non-toxic by the ASPCA. Lepanthes is not individually listed by the ASPCA, but no toxic compound has been reported for this genus.

Yes — the ASPCA lists beautiful-net lepanthes 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.
