Is Four-angled cassiope toxic to cats?

No — four-angled cassiope 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. Cassiope is in the family Ericaceae. The genus is not individually listed by ASPCA. No toxic principles have been reported for Cassiope species for dogs or cats. Related genera in Ericaceae (e.g. Rhododendron, Kalmia) are toxic, but Cassiope itself has no documented toxicity. Consult a veterinarian if ingestion is a concern.

Yes — the ASPCA lists four-angled cassiope as non-toxic to cats and dogs. A cat that chews a large amount of any foliage can still get a mild, brief stomach upset, so discourage grazing, but it will not be poisoned.
