Is Coryphantha macromeris toxic to cats?

Coryphantha macromeris

Non-toxic to cats

No — coryphantha macromeris 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. Coryphantha is a member of the family Cactaceae, which the ASPCA does not list as toxic to cats and dogs, and this species is not known to be poisonous. The sharp spines tipping each long tubercle are the genuine hazard to pets rather than any toxin.
