Spider plants (Chlorophytum comosum) are non-toxic and not poisonous to cats. They are listed as safe and non-toxic to cats by the ASPCA. However, spider plants contain compounds that can have a mild hallucinogenic effect on cats, making them attracted to the plant. While not harmful in small amounts, eating large quantities may cause mild gastrointestinal upset like vomiting or diarrhea in cats. It is best to keep spider plants out of reach of cats to prevent excessive ingestion and potential mild digestive issues. Despite this, spider plants are generally considered safe for cats to nibble on occasionally.
