Is Tuerckheim's Pleurothallis toxic to cats?

No — tuerckheim's pleurothallis 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. Pleurothallis is not individually listed by the ASPCA, but orchids in the Orchidaceae family have no known toxic principles to dogs, cats, or horses, and the genus shares the same family as ASPCA-confirmed non-toxic orchids (e.g. Phalaenopsis, Masdevallia spp.). No toxic compounds have been reported in the literature.

Yes — the ASPCA lists tuerckheim's pleurothallis 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: Tuerckheim's Pleurothallis is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full tuerckheim's pleurothallis pet-safety guide for both species.
