Is Calathea Vittata toxic to cats?

No — calathea vittata 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 elliptica 'Vittata' is not individually listed by the ASPCA, but the ASPCA lists the Calathea genus ("Calathea spp.", family Marantaceae) along with Calathea lancifolia and Calathea insignis as non-toxic to cats, dogs, and horses, with no Calathea or Goeppertia listed as toxic. Considered pet-safe; verify with your vet. Eating large amounts of any plant can still cause mild stomach upset.

Yes — the ASPCA lists calathea vittata 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 Vittata is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full calathea vittata pet-safety guide for both species.
