Is Aloinopsis rosulata toxic to cats?

Aloinopsis rosulata

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists aloinopsis rosulata as mildly toxic to cats — a chewing cat typically gets mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a medical emergency, but it is still best kept out of reach. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Aloinopsis is not individually listed on the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plants database. Its family, Aizoaceae, is mixed in the ASPCA records: Lithops is listed non-toxic while the related Dinteranthus is listed toxic to cats and dogs. As this genus is unconfirmed, treat it with caution, keep it away from pets, and verify with a vet rather than assuming it is safe.

What to do if your cat ate aloinopsis rosulata

  1. Remove any plant material from your cat's mouth and move aloinopsis rosulata out of reach.
  2. Note how much was eaten and when, and watch for drooling, vomiting, or lethargy.
  3. Do not induce vomiting unless a vet or poison-control specialist instructs you to.
  4. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 and follow their advice.
  5. Bring a leaf or photo of aloinopsis rosulata to the appointment so it can be treated correctly.
