Is Siberian Fir toxic to cats?
Abies sibirica
No — siberian fir 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. Abies sibirica is not individually listed by ASPCA, but the Abies genus has no known toxic principles to dogs, cats, or horses. The essential oils derived from Siberian Fir are used medicinally in humans; ingestion of needles or bark in large quantities by pets may cause mild gastrointestinal upset.
