Does anyone know if the tropical plant "aglaonema" is
safe , toxic or poisonous to cats? I have tried searching
but couldn't find it listed in any of the categories.

Trying to decide whether to bring this plant home or not.
Our maine coon is a plant nibbler , the himalayan could care
less....

Thanks!

Chinese evergreen can cause irritation according to
http://envhort.ucdavis.edu/ce/king/PoisPlant/Tox-SCI.htm

The berries can be poisonous according to
http://www.helsinki.fi/~unummela/poisonousplants.htm

Several other sites listed it as a not-great thing for cats that like to
chew on plants.

I would not have it in my house with my cats. Actually, I don't have any
live plants in my house except for cactus.  :)

What would happen if a kitten got a nibble or two in?
