Is Gasteria Nitida toxic to cats?

Gasteria nitida

Non-toxic to cats

No — gasteria nitida is listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats. It is a sensible choice for a home with a cat; a curious nibble will not poison them, though no plant is meant to be eaten. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. The genus Gasteria is not individually listed by the ASPCA, but it has no toxic members and is considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. No toxic principle is reported. Gnawing can still cause mild stomach upset from the fibrous tissue, so discourage chewing, but it poses no poisoning risk.
