Is Crimson Sweet Watermelon toxic to cats?

No — crimson sweet watermelon 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. Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is not listed on the ASPCA toxic plant database, and seedless ripe flesh is widely considered safe for dogs and cats in moderation. Feed flesh only; rind and seeds can cause gastrointestinal upset or obstruction. Not individually ASPCA-listed, so introduce in small amounts.

Yes — the ASPCA lists crimson sweet watermelon 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.

The ASPCA classification Growli uses applies to both cats and dogs: Crimson Sweet Watermelon is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full crimson sweet watermelon pet-safety guide for both species.
