Is Winged Peperomia toxic to cats?

No — winged 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. The ASPCA lists several Peperomia species (including P. obtusifolia, P. caperata, and P. argyreia) as non-toxic to cats and dogs, with no toxic principle identified and no toxic member of the genus on record. Peperomia alata is considered pet-safe on this consistent genus-wide basis. A pet that eats a large quantity of any houseplant may experience mild, transient stomach upset; if concerned, consult your vet.

Yes — the ASPCA lists winged peperomia 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: Winged Peperomia is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full winged peperomia pet-safety guide for both species.
