Is Conophytum Calculus toxic to cats?

Conophytum calculus

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists conophytum calculus 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. Conophytum is not individually listed by the ASPCA, so its toxicity is not formally established. Treat with caution and verify with a vet before assuming safety; keep out of reach of plant-chewing pets.

What to do if your cat ate conophytum calculus

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

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