Freesia 'Royal Blue'
No — freesia 'royal blue' 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 is included on its pet-safe bouquet flower lists. As with any non-food plant, chewing may cause mild, short-lived gastrointestinal upset, so it remains sensible to keep pets from grazing on it.
