Is Tolumnia variegata toxic to cats?

Tolumnia variegata

Non-toxic to cats

No — tolumnia variegata 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. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Tolumnia (the equitant oncidiums, segregated from Oncidium) is not separately listed, but Oncidium is ASPCA-listed as non-toxic to cats and dogs and no toxic principle is reported in this group. It is regarded as non-toxic; chewing may cause only mild, transient stomach upset.
