Is Fenestraria Rhopalophylla toxic to cats?

Fenestraria rhopalophylla

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists fenestraria rhopalophylla 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. Fenestraria rhopalophylla is not individually listed on the ASPCA toxic/non-toxic plant database, and published sources conflict on its safety. Because it cannot be confirmed as non-toxic on ASPCA grounds, treat it with caution, keep it out of reach of curious pets, and verify with a vet before assuming it is safe. No serious poisoning is documented, but absence of an ASPCA non-toxic listing means we do not label it pet-safe.
