Is Cleft Antegibbaeum toxic to cats?

Antegibbaeum fissoides

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists cleft antegibbaeum 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. Antegibbaeum is not individually listed by the ASPCA. The Aizoaceae family contains some genera with oxalate-related irritants; out of caution, treat as mildly toxic and keep away from pets and children.

What to do if your cat ate cleft antegibbaeum

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