Is Cobra Lily toxic to cats?

Darlingtonia californica

Non-toxic to cats

No — cobra lily 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. The ASPCA individually lists the California Pitcher Plant (Darlingtonia californica, family Sarraceniaceae) as non-toxic to cats, dogs, and horses. As with any plant, nibbling foliage may still cause mild stomach upset, so it is best kept out of pets' reach.
