Syringa meyeri 'Palibin'

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists palibin dwarf korean lilac 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. Syringa meyeri is not individually listed by the ASPCA, but as a member of the Syringa genus, its terpene-rich foliage and bark may cause mild gastrointestinal upset in pets if chewed or consumed. Exercise caution with dogs and cats that browse woody plants.
