Is Cymbidium erythrostylum toxic to cats?

No — cymbidium erythrostylum 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. ASPCA-listed as non-toxic to cats and dogs — like all true orchids in the Orchidaceae family, Cymbidium contains no toxic compounds. Large mouthfuls of any foliage can cause mild, temporary stomach upset in a curious pet, and any chemical sprays applied to the plant pose more risk than the orchid tissue.

Yes — the ASPCA lists cymbidium erythrostylum 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: Cymbidium erythrostylum is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full cymbidium erythrostylum pet-safety guide for both species.
