Is Green-Yellow Catasetum toxic to cats?

No — green-yellow catasetum 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. Catasetum viridiflavum is not individually listed by ASPCA. No toxic principle is documented for this genus; the Orchidaceae family is broadly considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. As a precaution, prevent pets from ingesting plant material, as large quantities of any non-nutritive plant can cause mild gastrointestinal upset.

Yes — the ASPCA lists green-yellow catasetum 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: Green-Yellow Catasetum is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full green-yellow catasetum pet-safety guide for both species.
