Verdict
Basil (Ocimum basilicum) is listed as non-toxic to cats by the ASPCA. It's a common culinary herb and is generally well tolerated in small amounts. Some cats show mild interest in chewing basil leaves; large amounts of any unfamiliar plant material can occasionally cause mild stomach upset simply from the fiber, not from any toxin.
Symptoms to watch for
- • mild GI upset possible with large amounts of any plant material
What to do
No treatment needed. Fresh basil is a fine addition to a cat-safe herb garden.
