Crassula marnieriana

Toxic to cats

Yes — crassula marnieriana is toxic to cats according to the ASPCA. Keep it well away from any cat that chews plants; reactions can be significant. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. The ASPCA lists Crassula (jade plant, Crassula species) as toxic to cats and dogs, with clinical signs of vomiting, depression and incoordination. Crassula marnieriana is not named individually, but the whole genus is treated as toxic, so we class it the same. Keep it out of reach of pets and contact a vet or the ASPCA Poison Control line if ingestion is suspected.
