Is Masdevallia coccinea toxic to cats?

Masdevallia coccinea

Non-toxic to cats

No — masdevallia coccinea 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. The ASPCA lists Masdevallia (under the common name 'Tailed Orchid') as non-toxic to cats and dogs, with no toxic principle recorded. Ingestion of any plant material can still cause mild transient gastrointestinal upset, so keep curious pets from chewing the foliage.
