Is Danvers Carrot toxic to cats?

Daucus carota subsp. sativus 'Danvers 126'

Non-toxic to cats

This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. The cultivated carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) is not flagged as toxic on the ASPCA database, and carrot root is widely recognised by veterinarians as a safe, low-calorie treat for dogs and cats. Feed in moderation; the foliage contains psoralens that can rarely cause mild skin sensitivity on handling.
