Default Peace lilly question.

So I was reading and it seems these are not good plants for the "kids" to be
munching on. Personally we don't care for them to munch on ANY plants, but
that's beside the point. However, point in question, we were just given a
Peace Lilly and before we could put it in it's own room, our "youngest"
munched on one of the leaves. Here's the question...should we worry? Is it
just the lilly itself that is the bad part? We're keeping them away from
the plant since I did a little research and found out that it's not good for
them. So is it ok that he munched a bit on one of the big green leaves and
NOT the lilly itself? I know NOTHING about plants and we're currently
living with a relative that likes plants.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this issue. I know the symptoms to be
looking for, I'm just wondering if I should be concerned but not very
concerned as it was the leaf and not the lilly part.

My cat once had a good munch at a peace lilly with no adverse effects

I keep all of my plant up high these days as my cat will have a go at
most apart from geraniums (who knows why!!) . I have a friend who is
plant mad and has some lovely big specimens all over her house but her
cat never shows any interest in having a nibble! Think it's another of
those quirky cat things...some like to much plants, some dont!
