Is 'Tromboncino' Squash toxic to cats?

No — 'tromboncino' squash 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. Cucurbita squashes are ASPCA-listed as non-toxic to cats and dogs (the ASPCA lists Zucchini, Acorn and Hubbard squash as non-toxic), and Tromboncino is a Cucurbita moschata. As with any plant, large amounts of foliage or fruit may cause mild stomach upset, and the rare bitter, cucurbitacin-laden fruit should not be eaten — discard any squash that tastes intensely bitter.

Yes — the ASPCA lists 'tromboncino' squash 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: 'Tromboncino' Squash is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full 'tromboncino' squash pet-safety guide for both species.
