It’s is only toxic if ingested for both humans and animals! Cats should make a full recovery if ingested unless they eat a larger amount. Symptoms if ingested include drooling, irritated mouth and stomach. To keep cats away you can use citrus essential oils, sprays or rinds around the plant as cats hate citrus.

Just don’t put it in your frying pan and you should be good. As for the pets idk

I have a pothos and my puppy got to it and it chewed on it pretty bad. She didn’t have any issues afterward and that was a couple months ago. I’m not saying not to worry about it completely but I think as long as you’re more mindful than I was (lol) and keep pets from chewing on it, you should be ok.

I think it’s fine. My cat eats everything I own including my plants and she’s ok.
