Is Conophytum Obcordellum toxic to cats?

Conophytum obcordellum

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists conophytum obcordellum 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 on the ASPCA's toxic or non-toxic plant database, so its status is unconfirmed (despite the related Lithops being listed non-toxic). Treat with caution, keep away from pets, and verify with a vet if ingested. Do not assume pet-safe without confirmation.

What to do if your cat ate conophytum obcordellum

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

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