Is Wonderful Pomegranate toxic to cats?

No — wonderful pomegranate 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. Punica granatum is not listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats or dogs, and the fruit arils are edible. The rind, bark, and large quantities of fruit can cause gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, diarrhoea) in pets due to tannins, so offer only small amounts of the flesh and keep pets from gnawing the peel or bark.
