Is Pilea libanensis toxic to cats?

Pilea libanensis

Non-toxic to cats

No — pilea libanensis 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 Pilea genus is ASPCA-listed as non-toxic to cats and dogs (e.g. Creeping Pilea, Pilea mucosa, Friendship Plant). No toxic principle is reported. As with any plant, nibbling can cause mild, transient stomach upset, but it poses no poisoning risk.
