Bay leaf is not considered toxic to cats. Not the types sold for culinary use. However some members of the laurel family, as well as the unrelated but visually similar mountain laurel and cherry laurel, have leaves that are poisonous to humans and livestock. Also though culinary Bay leaf is not considered poisonous and is used as flavoring and fragrance, the leaf itself is very stiff and should not be eaten whole or in large pieces due to risks of scratching the digestive tract, choking and possibly fatal surgical emergency due to intestinal perforations caused by swallowing bay leaves as known from multiple cases. Some other plants that are considered toxic are Aloe, American Yew and Black Calla.

Why would you give bay leaves to dogs?
Bay leaves are aromatic leaves of the bay plant, often used in cooking soups and stews; they are also featured in recipes such as pot roasts and other hearty meat dishes. Bay leaves are not toxic to humans, but they often have a bitter, intense taste that makes removal of them from the stew after cooking a habit of many cooks. Bay leaves will likely have the same effects on dogs - not toxic (probably), but also not palatable. There is no medical reason to give bay leaves to a dog - they are flavorful, but they are not medicinal or healing. However, I suspect someone somewhere on the internet may have posted information stating bay leaves are good for dogs. There is no scientific evidence suggesting that bay leaves are anything but an aromatic herb useful for flavoring human foods.
