Is Disa tripetaloides toxic to cats?
Disa tripetaloides
No — disa tripetaloides 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. Disa is not individually listed by the ASPCA, but Orchidaceae is broadly considered non-toxic and the ASPCA classifies representative orchids (Phalaenopsis, Oncidium, Cattleya) as non-toxic to cats and dogs. No toxic principle is known. Large nibbles may cause mild gastrointestinal upset; verify with a vet if your pet is unusually sensitive.
