It can be - baby powder (talcum powder) is a fine particulate material, which means it can get deep into a cat's lungs and cause problems. Also, it is a calcium salt, which if ingested can cause electrolyte issues.

Talcum powder is not overtly harmful to dogs, but remember that our four-legged friends need a bit of oil in their coats to keep them healthy.
