Is Sinomiyama Toad Lily toxic to cats?

Tricyrtis macrantha subsp. macranthopsis

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists sinomiyama toad lily as mildly toxic to cats — a chewing cat typically gets mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a medical emergency, but it is still best kept out of reach. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Tricyrtis is not individually listed by the ASPCA Toxic or Non-Toxic Plant database, so its status is uncertain; treat with caution and verify with a vet. Toad lilies are NOT true lilies (Lilium) and do not carry the severe feline kidney-failure risk of Lilium or Hemerocallis — but this species is not confirmed pet-safe, so discourage chewing and seek veterinary advice if ingested.
