Is Golden Powder Puff toxic to cats?

No — golden powder puff 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. Mammillaria is not listed on the ASPCA toxic plant list, and cacti (Cactaceae) are not known to be systemically poisonous to cats or dogs. Not individually named by the ASPCA, so this is a family-level safe rating: there is no toxic principle, but the spines are a real mechanical hazard and can cause mouth, paw, or eye injury if chewed or batted.

Yes — the ASPCA lists golden powder puff 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.

The ASPCA classification Growli uses applies to both cats and dogs: Golden Powder Puff is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full golden powder puff pet-safety guide for both species.
