Chamaerops humilis var. argentea

Non-toxic to cats

No — silver mediterranean fan palm is listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats.

Chamaerops humilis is not individually listed by ASPCA, but it belongs to the Arecaceae palm family, which has no documented toxic principles to dogs, cats, or horses. It is not related to the toxic Cycas (sago palm). Most horticultural sources and veterinary guidance treat Chamaerops as pet-safe, though always consult your vet if a pet ingests plant material.
