Is Graptopetalum amethystinum toxic to cats?

Graptopetalum amethystinum

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists graptopetalum amethystinum 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. Graptopetalum is not individually listed by the ASPCA; treat with caution and verify with a vet. It belongs to the non-toxic Crassulaceae family alongside Echeveria, and horticultural sources widely consider it pet-safe, but without a direct ASPCA listing we do not assert safe. Ingestion may cause mild gastrointestinal upset.

What to do if your cat ate graptopetalum amethystinum

  1. Remove any plant material from your cat's mouth and move graptopetalum amethystinum out of reach.
  2. Note how much was eaten and when, and watch for drooling, vomiting, or lethargy.

  4. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 and follow their advice.
