Is Nymphaea 'James Brydon' toxic to cats?

Nymphaea 'James Brydon'

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists nymphaea 'james brydon' 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. Nymphaea is not individually listed by the ASPCA toxic/non-toxic database; the ASPCA's hazardous 'lily' entries are Lilium and Hemerocallis, separate genera unrelated to true waterlilies. Because Nymphaea remains unconfirmed and pets chewing the foliage have anecdotally shown GI upset (vomiting, drooling, lethargy), treat with caution and verify with a vet before assuming it is safe.
