Cleistocactus hyalacanthus

Non-toxic to cats

No — cleistocactus hyalacanthus 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. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. The ASPCA classifies cacti (Cactaceae) as non-toxic to cats and dogs, and Cleistocactus carries no toxic principle. Note the spines are a physical injury hazard, not a poison, so still keep it out of reach of curious pets.
