Is Lemboglossum rossii toxic to cats?

Lemboglossum rossii

Non-toxic to cats

No — lemboglossum rossii 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. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. As a member of Orchidaceae it carries no recognised toxic compound; the ASPCA classifies orchids as non-toxic to cats and dogs (Phalaenopsis is the listed entry) and notes no orchid is known to poison cats. Odontoglossum-type orchids appear on pet-safe orchid lists. Lemboglossum is not individually named, but shares the family's benign profile. Expect only possible mild stomach upset if chewed; watch for chemical residues on leaves.
