The chia pet plant is not toxic to cats so if Cid were to ingest / chew on the plant, he should be fine. It would probably be best to not allow Cid to chew / eat the plant to prevent any GI upset. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions / concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
