Is Transparent-Leaf Peperomia toxic to cats?

No — transparent-leaf peperomia 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. The ASPCA lists multiple Peperomia species (including P. obtusifolia, P. caperata, P. argyreia, and P. prostrata) as non-toxic to cats and dogs, with no toxic members of the genus on record and no toxic principle identified. Peperomia diaphanoides is considered pet-safe on this consistent genus-wide basis. Ingestion of large quantities of any plant material may cause mild, transient gastrointestinal upset regardless of toxicity; consult your vet if your pet eats any.

Yes — the ASPCA lists transparent-leaf peperomia 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: Transparent-Leaf Peperomia is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full transparent-leaf peperomia pet-safety guide for both species.
