Is Mulberry 'Shangri-La' toxic to cats?

Morus nigra 'Shangri-La'

Non-toxic to cats

No — mulberry 'shangri-la' 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 lists the Mulberry Tree (Morus sp.) as non-toxic to dogs, cats and horses, with no toxic principle identified. Unripe green berries and the milky sap may cause mild stomach upset, so offer only fully ripe fruit, which is safe for pets in moderation.
