Cats and orchids

Hello! I found this really pretty orchid the other day that I thought about getting but then I started to wonder if it would be toxic to Asher. I searched this forum for "toxic plants" and found a link to a list but this particular orchid was not on there as far as I could tell. It's an oncidium and it's called "dancing lady orchid" or sometimes it is called "fangtastic." It looks like a spider or an octopus. Here is a picture of it:

Does anyone know if this particular orchid is poisonous to cats? I think it's so cool but I won't get it if it will hurt Asher.

Thanks!
Kristen

I just checked the CFA's list of poisonous plants and that one is not on it anywhere.
