Is Jasmine (Pink Jasmine) toxic to cats?

No — jasmine (pink jasmine) 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. The ASPCA does not list Jasminum polyanthum individually, but lists the genus "Jasmine" (Jasminum species, family Oleaceae) as non-toxic to cats, dogs, and horses, with no toxic Jasminum members; verify with your vet if your pet ingests any plant. Note that several unrelated plants share the "jasmine" name and ARE toxic, including Carolina/Carolina yellow jasmine (Gelsemium sempervirens) and cape jasmine/gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides) — those are different genera, not true Jasminum.

Yes — the ASPCA lists jasmine (pink jasmine) 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: Jasmine (Pink Jasmine) is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full jasmine (pink jasmine) pet-safety guide for both species.
