Is Long-Petaled Deuterocohnia toxic to cats?

No — long-petaled deuterocohnia 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. Deuterocohnia longipetala is not individually listed by the ASPCA, but the genus belongs to Bromeliaceae, a family broadly classified as non-toxic to cats and dogs. No chemical toxins are known in Deuterocohnia; the sharp leaf spines present a mechanical — not chemical — risk only.

Yes — the ASPCA lists long-petaled deuterocohnia 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: Long-Petaled Deuterocohnia is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full long-petaled deuterocohnia pet-safety guide for both species.
