Is Tangerine Beauty Crossvine toxic to cats?

Bignonia capreolata 'Tangerine Beauty'

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists tangerine beauty crossvine 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. As a cultivar of Bignonia capreolata (Bignoniaceae), 'Tangerine Beauty' carries the same precautionary mild-toxicity classification. ASPCA does not list Bignonia capreolata specifically; no severe systemic toxicity is documented, but mild irritation from sap is plausible. Keep pets and children from ingesting plant material.
