Is Triangle palm toxic to cats?

Dypsis decaryi

Non-toxic to cats

No — triangle palm 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. Dypsis decaryi is not individually listed in the ASPCA toxic/non-toxic plant database, but it is a true palm (Arecaceae) with no calcium oxalates, and its genus is clean: the ASPCA lists Dypsis lutescens (cane/areca palm) as non-toxic to both cats and dogs, with no toxic Dypsis species. Considered pet-safe; if in doubt, verify with your vet.
