Is Filbert 'Ennis' toxic to cats?

Corylus maxima 'Ennis'

Non-toxic to cats

No — filbert 'ennis' 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. Corylus (hazel/filbert) is not listed as toxic by the ASPCA, and hazelnuts are a recognised edible nut. No toxic principle is associated with the foliage or nuts; treat as non-toxic to cats and dogs, though rich fatty nuts can cause stomach upset or pose a choking/obstruction hazard if a pet gorges on them.
