Snapdragons are not toxic to cats. They are considered safe and non- poisonous for cats, meaning cats can be around snapdragons without risk of poisoning. While cats do not typically bother with snapdragons, even if a cat chews or eats snapdragons excessively, it may only cause mild vomiting or an upset stomach but no serious toxicity. This makes snapdragons a safe flower to have around cats in the home or garden.
