Is Japanese Cedar 'Globosa Nana' toxic to cats?

Cryptomeria japonica 'Globosa Nana'

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists japanese cedar 'globosa nana' 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. Cryptomeria japonica is not individually listed by the ASPCA in its Toxic/Non-Toxic Plants database, so it cannot be confirmed as pet-safe. No significant toxic principle is well documented and ingestion may at most cause mild stomach upset, but treat with caution and verify with a vet before assuming safety for cats or dogs.
