well, ive never tried putting them in my mouth, but im sure they are packed with calcium oxalate, but so are many other aroids. it wont harm you just to touch the plant, or probably even come into skin contact with the sap in small amounts (ive never had a problem), but when it gets in your mouth is where it starts to cause problems. it hurts pretty bad (I have experience with slightly unripe monstera fruit), so i dont think your cat would even want to eat it.
