Is Blue Vanda toxic to cats?

Vanda coerulea

Non-toxic to cats

No — blue vanda 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. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Orchids are listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats and dogs (Phalaenopsis orchid is the named entry, and the ASPCA holds no orchid on its toxic list). Vanda coerulea is not individually listed, but as a member of Orchidaceae it carries no calcium oxalates or known toxic principle. Non-toxic does not mean edible; chewing may still cause mild stomach upset.
