Is Hardy Kiwi 'Ananasnaya' toxic to cats?

Actinidia arguta 'Ananasnaya'

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists hardy kiwi 'ananasnaya' 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. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Actinidia arguta is not individually listed in the ASPCA's toxic or non-toxic plant database; treat with caution and verify with a vet. The fruit is human-edible, but the foliage contains compounds related to those in catnip and can attract and overstimulate cats; pet safety is not ASPCA-established, so do not label it pet-safe.
