Is Masdevallia tovarensis toxic to cats?

Masdevallia tovarensis

Non-toxic to cats

No — masdevallia tovarensis 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. Chewing any plant can still cause mild, short-lived stomach upset, so it is sensible to keep pets from grazing the leaves.
