Is Trevi Fountain Pulmonaria toxic to cats?

Pulmonaria 'Trevi Fountain'

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists trevi fountain pulmonaria 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. Not individually listed by the ASPCA, so pet safety is unconfirmed; Pulmonaria contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids and saponins (classes the ASPCA treats as toxic) and bristly leaf hairs can irritate skin. Treat with caution and verify with a vet rather than assuming pet-safe.
