Is Lance-Leaf Peperomia toxic to cats?

No — lance-leaf peperomia 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. Peperomia lanceolata is not individually listed in the ASPCA database, but the entire Peperomia genus that the ASPCA has reviewed — including Trailing Peperomia (P. prostrata), Baby Rubber Plant (P. obtusifolia), Watermelon Peperomia (P. argyreia), and Emerald Ripple (P. caperata) — is listed as non-toxic to dogs and cats, with no toxic species on record. It is treated as pet-safe on this clean-genus basis; consult your vet if a pet ingests a substantial amount.

Yes — the ASPCA lists lance-leaf peperomia 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: Lance-Leaf Peperomia is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full lance-leaf peperomia pet-safety guide for both species.
