Queen Palm Indoors with Cats: Safe but Challenging

ASPCA says Queen Palm (Syagrus romanzoffiana) is non-toxic to cats. Minor stomach upset possible if eaten, so discourage nibbling.

Bigger challenge: light and humidity. Queen palms need full sun and high humidity—hard to replicate indoors. Without a 14-hour fluorescent fixture overhead, they’ll decline. Consider a hardier indoor palm (e.g., Parlor, Kentia) instead.
