Is Pedalai toxic to cats?

Artocarpus sericicarpus

Non-toxic to cats

No — pedalai 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. Artocarpus sericicarpus (Moraceae) is not listed by ASPCA. As with other Artocarpus species, the latex sap may cause mild skin irritation on direct contact, but no systemic toxic principles are documented. The fruits are consumed by humans and forest wildlife in Borneo without reported toxicity.
