Is Night-Scented Epidendrum toxic to cats?

Epidendrum nocturnum

Non-toxic to cats

No — night-scented epidendrum 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 Epidendrum ibaguense and Epidendrum atropurpureum as non-toxic to dogs and cats. E. nocturnum is not individually assessed, but no toxic principle has been identified in the Epidendrum genus. Exercise routine caution if pets chew on plant material.
