Geum 'Mrs Bradshaw'

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists geum 'mrs bradshaw' as mildly toxic to cats — a chewing cat typically gets mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a medical emergency, but it is still best kept out of reach.

Geum is not individually listed on the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plants database, so its pet status is unconfirmed; treat with caution and verify with a vet.
