Is Dracula bella toxic to cats?

Dracula bella

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists dracula bella as mildly toxic to cats — a chewing cat typically gets mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a medical emergency, but it is still best kept out of reach. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. The genus Dracula is not individually listed by the ASPCA, so its status is uncertain; treat with caution and verify with a vet. Most orchids, including the closely related Masdevallia ('Tailed Orchid'), are ASPCA non-toxic, and no source flags Dracula as poisonous, but without a specific ASPCA listing we do not assert pet-safe. Chewing any plant can cause mild gastrointestinal upset.
