Is Peyote-Like Turbinicarpus toxic to cats?

Turbinicarpus lophophoroides

Non-toxic to cats

No — peyote-like turbinicarpus 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. Turbinicarpus lophophoroides is not individually listed by the ASPCA, but true cacti are generally considered non-toxic to dogs and cats. The primary hazard is mechanical — spines can cause eye or mouth injury if ingested or handled carelessly.
