Is Zebra Plant (Calathea Zebrina) toxic to cats?

No — zebra plant (calathea zebrina) 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. Listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats, dogs, and horses: the genus appears as "Calathea spp." (Marantaceae), and the ASPCA "Prayer Plant" entry (Calathea insignis) explicitly names "Zebra Plant" among its common names, both non-toxic. The species is not on the ASPCA's toxic list, but eating large amounts of foliage may still cause mild, self-limiting stomach upset, so verify with your vet if a pet shows symptoms.

Yes — the ASPCA lists zebra plant (calathea zebrina) 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.
