Is Venus Flytrap toxic to cats?

No — venus flytrap 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. The ASPCA lists the Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula, family Droseraceae) as non-toxic to dogs, cats, and horses. No poisonous compounds are involved; a curious pet that chews a trap may at most get mild, transient mouth or stomach irritation from the fibrous plant tissue. The bigger risk is to the plant — pets and traps don't mix, so keep it out of reach to protect the flytrap itself.

Yes — the ASPCA lists venus flytrap 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: Venus Flytrap is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full venus flytrap pet-safety guide for both species.
