Is spider plant toxic to dogs or cats?
Non-toxic. A favorite target, but a harmless one.
Non-toxic, and famously irresistible to cats.
Spider plants are on the ASPCA's non-toxic list for both species, which is fortunate because cats love chewing the dangling babies. A cat that eats a lot of any plant may still vomit it back up: that is plant matter, not poison. One of the best worry-free choices.
Signs to watch for
- Overindulgence: mild vomiting from plant matter itself
