Is Ogeechee Tupelo toxic to cats?

No — ogeechee tupelo 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. Nyssa ogeche is not individually listed by ASPCA. The tart red drupes (ogeechee limes) have a long history of human use as a food ingredient with no reported toxicity. No toxic principles are documented in the genus Nyssa for pets, though ingestion of large quantities of any plant material can cause gastrointestinal upset. The fruit is not considered hazardous to dogs or cats.

Yes — the ASPCA lists ogeechee tupelo as non-toxic to cats and dogs. A cat that chews a large amount of any foliage can still get a mild, brief stomach upset, so discourage grazing, but it will not be poisoned.

The ASPCA classification Growli uses applies to both cats and dogs: Ogeechee Tupelo is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full ogeechee tupelo pet-safety guide for both species.
