Is Calathea Fasciata toxic to cats?

No — calathea fasciata 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. Goeppertia/Calathea fasciata is not individually listed in the ASPCA database, but its genus is clean: ASPCA lists genus members such as Calathea insignis (Prayer Plant) and Maranta insignis as non-toxic to dogs, cats, and horses, with no toxic Calathea members. Treated as pet-safe; verify with your vet, as fibrous leaves may still cause mild, self-limiting stomach upset if eaten in quantity.

Yes — the ASPCA lists calathea fasciata 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: Calathea Fasciata is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full calathea fasciata pet-safety guide for both species.
