Is Tompa Norway Spruce toxic to cats?

Picea abies 'Tompa'

Non-toxic to cats

No — tompa norway spruce 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. Norway spruce (Picea abies) does not appear on the ASPCA's toxic-plant list and has no recognised toxic principle, so it is considered non-toxic to dogs and cats. Sharp needles may cause mild mechanical or stomach irritation if chewed; discourage ingestion and watch for short-lived GI upset after a large nibble.
