Is Coelogyne massangeana toxic to cats?

Coelogyne massangeana

Non-toxic to cats

No — coelogyne massangeana 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. Not individually listed by the ASPCA, but it belongs to the Orchidaceae, a family the ASPCA classifies as non-toxic to cats and dogs (as with listed orchids such as Spice and Phalaenopsis); treat as pet-safe. Eating foliage may still cause mild, transient gastrointestinal upset.
