Is Freesia refracta toxic to cats?

Freesia refracta

Non-toxic to cats

No — freesia refracta 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. Freesia is recognised by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats and dogs and appears on its pet-safe bouquet flower lists. As with any non-food plant, ingestion may cause mild, short-lived gastrointestinal upset, so it is still best to keep pets from chewing the foliage or flowers.
