Is Moretti's Bellflower toxic to cats?

Campanula morettiana

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists moretti's bellflower as mildly toxic to cats — a chewing cat typically gets mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a medical emergency, but it is still best kept out of reach. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Campanula species are generally listed as non-toxic to cats and dogs by the ASPCA; no specific ASPCA entry exists for C. morettiana. Classified as mildly-toxic as a precaution since ingestion of any plant material may cause mild gastrointestinal upset.
