Is Compressed Peperomia toxic to cats?

No — compressed peperomia 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. The ASPCA lists multiple Peperomia species (including P. obtusifolia, P. caperata, and P. argyreia) as non-toxic to cats and dogs, with no toxic members of the genus on record. Peperomia coarctata is considered pet-safe on this genus-wide basis. As with any plant material, ingesting large quantities can cause mild, transient gastrointestinal upset; consult your vet if your pet eats any.

Yes — the ASPCA lists compressed peperomia 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.
