Is Flat-Leaved Dyckia toxic to cats?

Dyckia platyphylla

Non-toxic to cats

No — flat-leaved dyckia 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. Dyckia platyphylla is not individually listed by the ASPCA. The Dyckia genus (subfamily Pitcairnioideae, family Bromeliaceae) is not documented as toxic to dogs or cats. The primary hazard is physical injury from the stiff, sharply serrated leaf spines rather than chemical toxicity.
