Is Anaga Monanthes toxic to cats?

Monanthes anagensis

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists anaga monanthes 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. Monanthes anagensis is a Crassulaceae member and is not individually listed by ASPCA. Due to known toxicity in related jade-type genera of the same family in dogs and cats, treat with caution and keep away from pets.

What to do if your cat ate anaga monanthes

  1. Remove any plant material from your cat's mouth and move anaga monanthes 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 anaga monanthes to the appointment so it can be treated correctly.

General guidance, not veterinary advice. If you think your cat has eaten anaga monanthes, contact your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 — do not wait for symptoms to worsen.
