Is Peperomia Ginny toxic to cats?

Peperomia clusiifolia 'Ginny'

Non-toxic to cats

No — peperomia ginny 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. Peperomia clusiifolia 'Ginny' is not individually listed in the ASPCA database, but multiple Peperomia species (P. obtusifolia, P. prostrata, P. griseoargentea, P. caperata) are ASPCA-listed as non-toxic to cats and dogs, and no Peperomia is listed as toxic, so the genus is considered safe. Verify with your vet for your specific pet.
