Is orange sinningia toxic to cats?
Sinningia aggregata
No — orange sinningia 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. Sinningia speciosa (florist's gloxinia, the type species for this genus) is listed as non-toxic to cats and dogs by the ASPCA. S. aggregata is not individually listed, but belongs to the same non-toxic Gesneriaceae genus with no reported toxic compounds. The ASPCA notes that consumption of any plant matter may cause mild gastrointestinal upset.
