Hi there, The latin name for the king palm tree is Archontophoenix, and it is not listed on either the extensive safe plant or toxic plant list that cat fanciers association provides. http://www.cfainc.org/articles/plants.ht… toxic http://www.cfainc.org/articles/plants-no… But there is a King Sago Palm which is highly toxic to cats. You don’t mention which variety you have. Here is an article that includes the Sago Palm with a photograph and the information about its toxicity. http://www.petside.com/petsideblog/2009/… Houseplants and cats can be risky, so please do check out the safe plants and make sure that you do not have any toxic plants in or around your home.
