Is Livistona Decipiens toxic to cats?

Livistona decipiens

Non-toxic to cats

No — livistona decipiens 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. Not individually listed by the ASPCA, but Livistona and true palms in the family Arecaceae are not classified as toxic, and the ASPCA lists comparable fan palms as non-toxic to cats and dogs. Considered pet-safe; the chief hazard is the spiny leaf-stalk margins, which can cause cuts rather than poisoning.
