Is Restrepia guttulata toxic to cats?
Restrepia guttulata
No — restrepia guttulata 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. Restrepia does not appear on the ASPCA's list of toxic plants, and ornamental orchids are broadly considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. No toxic principle is known for the genus. Chewing foliage may cause mild, transient stomach upset from fibre, so discourage pets from nibbling.
