Chinese Evergreen
Susan,
The plant you have is a type of Aglaonema sometimes called Chinese Evergreen. With cats this plant can have a moderate potential for toxicity. It can cause oral irritation, intense burning and irritation of the mouth, lips, tongue, excessive drooling, vomiting, difficulty in swallowing if the cat chews on it. Most cats won’t bother this plant. If you have a very curious one, I would place it out of the cat’s reach.
