Is Mexican Pinyon toxic to cats?

Pinus cembroides

Non-toxic to cats

No — mexican pinyon 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. ASPCA-listed pines, such as Ponderosa Pine (Pinus ponderosa), are non-toxic to cats and dogs, and true pines in the genus Pinus are not on the ASPCA toxic list. The edible pine nuts are not poisonous, but eating large quantities of nuts or needles can cause vomiting or stomach upset, so offer only occasionally and in small amounts.
