Is Bullate Nautilocalyx toxic to cats?

No — bullate nautilocalyx 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. Nautilocalyx is a member of the Gesneriaceae family. The ASPCA lists numerous Gesneriaceae genera (Saintpaulia, Streptocarpus, Nematanthus, Episcia, Sinningia) as non-toxic. Nautilocalyx is not individually listed by ASPCA, but no toxic principles are known for this genus and the family has a strong non-toxic track record with pets.

Yes — the ASPCA lists bullate nautilocalyx 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: Bullate Nautilocalyx is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full bullate nautilocalyx pet-safety guide for both species.
