Is Emerald Ripple Peperomia toxic to cats?

No — emerald ripple peperomia 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. The ASPCA individually lists Emerald Ripple Peperomia (Peperomia caperata, family Piperaceae) as non-toxic to cats, dogs and horses, with its toxic principle recorded as "Non-toxic". This is a genuine pet-safe houseplant, not merely an unlisted assumption. As with any plant, a pet that gorges on the foliage may get mild, transient stomach upset simply from eating something it cannot digest, so it is still sensible to keep it away from determined chewers.

Yes — the ASPCA lists emerald ripple peperomia 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: Emerald Ripple Peperomia is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full emerald ripple peperomia pet-safety guide for both species.
