- Amaranth is generally non-toxic to cats.
- Monitor your cat for any changes in behavior or appetite.

While it's generally safe, it's important to watch your cat closely after they have nibbled on a plant. Most cats might experience only mild digestive upset if their system disagrees with something they’ve eaten. If she shows signs of vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy, consult your veterinarian to ensure her safety and health.
