Is Volcanic Peperomia toxic to cats?

Peperomia vulcanica

Non-toxic to cats

No — volcanic peperomia 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. The ASPCA consistently lists Peperomia species as non-toxic to both cats and dogs, with no recognised toxic principle. A pet that ingests a large amount of foliage may experience mild, transient gastrointestinal upset from the bulk of plant material, but no toxic compounds are involved.
