Is Lion's Angraecum toxic to cats?

Angraecum leonis

Non-toxic to cats

No — lion's angraecum 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. Angraecum is not individually listed by ASPCA for this genus, but belongs to the Orchidaceae family, which is broadly recognised as non-toxic to cats and dogs. No toxic principle has been reported for this genus. Standard caution applies: fertilisers and pesticides used with the plant may be harmful if ingested.
