Is Billbergia 'Fantasia' toxic to cats?

No — billbergia 'fantasia' 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. Billbergia is a bromeliad, and the ASPCA lists bromeliads such as the Blushing Bromeliad (Neoregelia) and Pineapple (Ananas comosus) as non-toxic to cats and dogs; the family contains no insoluble calcium oxalates. The real hazard is mechanical: the stiff, finely toothed leaf margins can scratch a curious pet, and overeating may cause mild stomach upset.

Yes — the ASPCA lists billbergia 'fantasia' 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: Billbergia 'Fantasia' is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full billbergia 'fantasia' pet-safety guide for both species.
