Is Columnea linearis toxic to cats?

Columnea linearis

Non-toxic to cats

No — columnea linearis 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. ASPCA lists the Gold-Fish Plant (Columnea) goldfish-plant gesneriads as non-toxic to cats and dogs. Eating a large amount of any plant can still cause mild, temporary gastrointestinal upset, so discourage heavy nibbling.
