Is Pilea 'Silver Tree' (Pilea spruceana 'Silver Tree') toxic to cats?

No — pilea 'silver tree' (pilea spruceana 'silver tree') 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. Pilea spruceana is not individually listed by the ASPCA, but the genus is clean: the ASPCA lists several Pilea species (Pilea microphylla, creeping pilea/Pilea nummulariifolia, watermelon pilea/Pilea cadierei and Pilea mucosa) as non-toxic to dogs, cats and horses, with no Pilea listed as toxic, and it belongs to the non-irritant family Urticaceae. It is therefore treated as pet-safe; as with any plant, nibbling may still cause mild stomach upset, so verify with your vet if you are concerned.

Yes — the ASPCA lists pilea 'silver tree' (pilea spruceana 'silver tree') 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.
