Is Savoy Cabbage toxic to cats?

Brassica oleracea var. sabauda 'Savoy King'

Non-toxic to cats

This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Cabbage (Brassica oleracea) is not listed among the ASPCA's toxic plants and cabbage is generally regarded as non-toxic to cats and dogs. As a brassica it contains thiocyanates, so large or frequent amounts can cause gas, bloating and GI upset, and rarely thyroid effects; serve only small, occasional, ideally cooked portions.
