Is Sobralia macrantha toxic to cats?

No — sobralia macrantha 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. Sobralia is not individually listed by the ASPCA, but the orchid family is broadly regarded as non-toxic and the ASPCA lists representative orchids (Phalaenopsis, Oncidium, Cattleya) as non-toxic to cats and dogs. No toxic principle is known. Ingestion may at most cause mild stomach upset; check with a vet if your pet is especially sensitive.

Yes — the ASPCA lists sobralia macrantha 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: Sobralia macrantha is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full sobralia macrantha pet-safety guide for both species.
