Sarcochilus ceciliae

Non-toxic to cats

No — sarcochilus ceciliae 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. Sarcochilus is not listed among the ASPCA's toxic plants, and ornamental orchids are broadly regarded as non-toxic to cats and dogs. No toxic principle is known. Despite the Fairy Bells name it is an orchid, not a bellflower or lily, and poses none of the lily risk to cats.
