Is Mediterranean feather grass toxic to cats?

No — mediterranean feather grass 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. Stipa offneri is not individually listed by the ASPCA, but the Stipa genus has no reported toxic principles to cats, dogs, or horses according to major poison control references. The physical hazard from sharp, penetrating awns at seed-set is the real concern for pets — mechanical injury, not chemical toxicity.

Yes — the ASPCA lists mediterranean feather grass as non-toxic to cats and dogs. A cat that chews a large amount of any foliage can still get a mild, brief stomach upset, so discourage grazing, but it will not be poisoned.

The ASPCA classification Growli uses applies to both cats and dogs: Mediterranean feather grass is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full mediterranean feather grass pet-safety guide for both species.
