Is Metallic Peperomia toxic to cats?

No — metallic 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. Peperomia metallica is not individually named in the ASPCA database, but it belongs to the Peperomia genus, which the ASPCA lists as non-toxic to cats and dogs across every member it covers (including Peperomia caperata, P. obtusifolia, P. argyreia and P. prostrata) with no toxic species listed. On that clean-genus basis it is treated as pet-safe; confirm with your vet, as overeating any plant can still cause mild stomach upset.

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