Is Cupid Peperomia toxic to cats?

No — cupid 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 does not list this exact cultivar by name, but it individually lists numerous Peperomia species — including Trailing Peperomia (Peperomia prostrata), Baby Rubber Plant (P. obtusifolia), Watermelon Peperomia (P. argyreia) and Emerald Ripple (P. caperata), all family Piperaceae — as Non-Toxic to Dogs and Non-Toxic to Cats, with no toxic principle or clinical signs noted. Cupid peperomia is widely regarded as pet-safe on this consistent genus-wide pattern. The ASPCA gives no status for horses, and as with any houseplant a pet that eats a large quantity may get mild, transient stomach upset from the plant bulk; if you are concerned about a specific animal, check with your vet.

Yes — the ASPCA lists cupid 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.

The ASPCA classification Growli uses applies to both cats and dogs: Cupid Peperomia is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full cupid peperomia pet-safety guide for both species.
