Is Ebracteola montis-moltkei toxic to cats?

Mildly. The ASPCA lists ebracteola montis-moltkei 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. Ebracteola montis-moltkei is not individually listed in the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plants database, so its status is treated as uncertain; verify with a vet before trusting it around pets. The closely related ice-plant genera the ASPCA does list in the Aizoaceae (Lampranthus, Dinteranthus) are non-toxic to cats and dogs, but absence of a species-level listing means we do not assert pet-safe here.

Signs usually appear soon after chewing rather than hours later — watch for drooling, pawing at the mouth, vomiting, loss of appetite, or unusual lethargy after your cat has had access to ebracteola montis-moltkei.

Stay calm. Remove any plant from your cat's mouth and take the plant away. Note how much was eaten and when, and do not induce vomiting unless told to. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 and follow their advice; a leaf or photo helps the vet treat it correctly.

The ASPCA classification Growli uses applies to both cats and dogs: Ebracteola montis-moltkei is mildly toxic to dogs as well. See the full ebracteola montis-moltkei pet-safety guide for both species.
