Is Pink Skyrocket Foamflower toxic to cats?

Tiarella 'Pink Skyrocket'

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists pink skyrocket foamflower as mildly toxic to cats — a chewing cat typically gets mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a medical emergency, but it is still best kept out of reach. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Not listed on the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant database. No significant toxic principles are documented for Tiarella cultivars, but because an explicit ASPCA non-toxic listing is absent, a precautionary mildly-toxic status is applied. Ingestion may cause mild gastrointestinal upset.
