Is Encyclia tampensis toxic to cats?

Encylia tampensis

Non-toxic to cats

No — encyclia tampensis 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. Not individually listed by the ASPCA, but it belongs to the Orchidaceae, a family the ASPCA classifies as non-toxic to cats and dogs (e.g. Phalaenopsis and Spice Orchids); treat as pet-safe. As with any plant, chewing leaves may cause mild stomach upset.
