Is Peperomia Rosso toxic to cats?

Peperomia caperata 'Rosso'

Non-toxic to cats

No — peperomia rosso 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. The ASPCA individually lists Peperomia caperata (as emerald/green ripple peperomia, family Piperaceae) as non-toxic to cats, dogs, and horses, and 'Rosso' is a cultivar of that species. Chewing can still cause mild stomach upset, so discourage nibbling.
