Is Pansy Orchid toxic to cats?

No — pansy orchid 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. The ASPCA individually lists the pansy orchid (scientific name Miltonia roezlii alba, a synonym for Miltoniopsis roezlii, family Orchidaceae) as non-toxic to dogs, cats and horses. As with any non-toxic plant, nibbling foliage may still cause mild stomach upset, so discourage chewing and rinse any pesticide residues; if a pet eats a large amount, check with your vet.

Yes — the ASPCA lists pansy orchid 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: Pansy Orchid is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full pansy orchid pet-safety guide for both species.
