Taxus in a Leopard exhibit

We are considering an Amur Leopard exhibit in a space with big old dying Taxus. It has great branching structure for a cat to climb on, but there are toxicity concerns. Does anyone have experience or good info. on this? Since the tree would be dead I wonder if a cat would consume enough dry bark to be in danger? Thanks-
