Is Siberian Pine toxic to cats?

No — siberian pine 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. Pinus sibirica is not listed on the ASPCA toxic plant database, and Pinus species are not on the ASPCA toxic list for cats and dogs. The pine nuts are edible and non-toxic to pets, though large amounts of fatty nuts or needles can cause mild GI upset, and needles/sap may mildly irritate. Despite the 'cedar' nickname, it is a true pine, not the toxic sago 'palm' (Cycas).

Yes — the ASPCA lists siberian pine as non-toxic to cats and dogs. A cat that chews a large amount of any foliage can still get a mild, brief stomach upset, so discourage grazing, but it will not be poisoned.

The ASPCA classification Growli uses applies to both cats and dogs: Siberian Pine is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full siberian pine pet-safety guide for both species.
