Is Bulbophyllum falcatum toxic to cats?

No — bulbophyllum falcatum 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. Orchids (Orchidaceae) are broadly classified by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats and dogs, with no insoluble calcium oxalates or other toxic principle; the ASPCA lists relatives such as the Phalaenopsis and Leopard orchids as non-toxic. Bulbophyllum falcatum is not individually named, but no toxicity is recognised for the genus; large ingestions may cause mild GI upset only.

Yes — the ASPCA lists bulbophyllum falcatum 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: Bulbophyllum falcatum is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full bulbophyllum falcatum pet-safety guide for both species.
