Is Shark-Toothed Neoregelia toxic to cats?

Neoregelia carcharodon

Non-toxic to cats

No — shark-toothed neoregelia 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. Not individually listed by the ASPCA, but Neoregelia belongs to the Bromeliaceae family, members of which the ASPCA broadly considers non-toxic to cats and dogs. The serrated leaf margins present a physical scratch hazard to curious pets.
