Is Neoregelia ampullacea toxic to cats?

Neoregelia ampullacea

Non-toxic to cats

No — neoregelia ampullacea 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 Neoregelia (Bromeliaceae) as non-toxic to cats and dogs, with no toxic principle identified. The small leaves have only fine marginal teeth, so risk is limited to minor mechanical irritation if chewed rather than poisoning.
