Is Astroloba Bullulata toxic to cats?

Astroloba bullulata

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists astroloba bullulata 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. Astroloba is not individually listed by the ASPCA Toxic/Non-Toxic Plant database, so its pet status is unconfirmed; treat with caution and verify with a vet before assuming it is safe. As a precaution keep it out of reach, since ingested foliage can cause mild gastrointestinal upset in cats and dogs.
