Is Bracken's Brown Beauty Magnolia toxic to cats?

Magnolia grandiflora 'Bracken's Brown Beauty'

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists bracken's brown beauty magnolia as mildly toxic to cats — a chewing cat typically gets mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a medical emergency, but it is still best kept out of reach. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. ASPCA individually lists Magnolia stellata (Star Magnolia) as non-toxic to dogs and cats. Magnolia grandiflora cultivars are widely regarded as low-toxicity; however, Magnolia is not universally cleared for all species. Ingestion of bark or leaves may cause mild gastrointestinal upset in pets. Exercise caution.
